"Cardinal Mazarin at the Deathbed of Eustache Le Sueur" is a notable historical painting by the French artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard, created in the 18th century. This artwork is significant for its portrayal of an imagined scene featuring two prominent figures of 17th-century France: Cardinal Jules Mazarin, the influential Italian cardinal, diplomat, and de facto ruler of France during the minority of Louis XIV, and Eustache Le Sueur, a leading French painter of the time.

The painting captures a poignant moment, with Cardinal Mazarin, known for his patronage of the arts and his political acumen, depicted at the deathbed of Le Sueur, who was celebrated for his classical style and contributions to French painting. Fragonard, who was renowned for his exuberant and rococo style, infused the scene with emotional depth and a sense of drama, reflecting the high esteem in which artists and their patrons were held in French society.

While the painting is a work of historical fiction—there is no record of Mazarin visiting Le Sueur on his deathbed—the scene serves as a symbolic representation of the relationship between art and power, and the respect afforded to cultural figures by the political elite of the time. Fragonard's work is a testament to the enduring legacy of both Mazarin and Le Sueur, and it offers insight into the cultural dynamics of 17th-century France as well as the artistic imagination of the 18th century.

The painting is an example of Fragonard's later work, where he often turned to historical and literary subjects. It stands out in his oeuvre for its somber mood and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, which contrasts with the playful and erotic themes for which he is best known. "Cardinal Mazarin at the Deathbed of Eustache Le Sueur" remains an important work for scholars studying the period and for those interested in the intersections of art, history, and politics.
