Emmanuel Theodose de la Tour d'Auvergne (1643-1715), also known as Cardinal de Bouillon, was a prominent French clergyman and nobleman of the 17th and early 18th centuries. Born into the illustrious House of La Tour d'Auvergne, he was the son of Frédéric Maurice de La Tour d'Auvergne, Duke of Bouillon, and Eleonora Catharina Febronis of the House of Hohenzollern. Emmanuel Theodose's ecclesiastical career was marked by his elevation to the cardinalate in 1669 by Pope Clement IX, a testament to his significant influence within the Catholic Church and his noble lineage.

Cardinal de Bouillon was a notable patron of the arts and an influential figure in the religious and political spheres of his time. His patronage extended to various artists, including the renowned Italian Baroque painter Giovanni Battista Gaulli, commonly known as Baciccio. Gaulli, celebrated for his dynamic compositions and masterful use of chiaroscuro, painted a portrait of Cardinal de Bouillon that exemplifies the grandeur and opulence associated with the cardinal's status.

The portrait by Baciccio captures Cardinal de Bouillon in his ecclesiastical regalia, reflecting both his spiritual authority and noble heritage. The artist's skillful rendering of textures, from the luxurious fabrics of the cardinal's vestments to the intricate details of his surroundings, highlights the sophistication and elegance of the Baroque period. This work not only serves as a visual representation of Cardinal de Bouillon's prominence but also as a testament to the artistic achievements of Baciccio, whose contributions to Baroque art remain highly regarded.

Throughout his life, Cardinal de Bouillon held various significant positions within the Church, including that of Grand Almoner of France, and played a crucial role in the political machinations of his era. His legacy is preserved not only through his ecclesiastical and political endeavors but also through the artistic patronage that immortalized his image and influence.
