"The Taking of La Rochelle from the Protestants, 1628 by Cardinal Richelieu 1585-1642, Engraved by Jean Baptiste Morret fl.1790-1820, 1790" is a historical engraving by French artist Jacques François Joseph Swebach, commonly known as Swebach-Desfontaines. The work depicts the pivotal moment in the Siege of La Rochelle (1627–1628), where Cardinal Richelieu, the chief minister to King Louis XIII of France, successfully subdued the Huguenot stronghold of La Rochelle, effectively ending the political and military power of the Huguenots in France.

The engraving, created in 1790, is a testament to the dramatic and violent religious conflicts of the 17th century, known as the French Wars of Religion. Jean Baptiste Morret, an engraver active from the late 18th to the early 19th century, is credited with bringing Swebach's vision to life through his skilled etching technique. Swebach, an accomplished painter, draughtsman, and engraver, was known for his detailed battle scenes and historical depictions, which often captured the intensity and emotion of the events portrayed.

This particular work serves not only as an artistic representation of a significant historical event but also as a cultural artifact reflecting the period's attitudes towards religious warfare and the centralization of power under the French monarchy. The engraving is an important piece for both art historians and scholars of French history, offering insight into the artistic techniques and historical narrative of the late 18th century.
