"L'Éminence Grise" is a notable painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, completed in 1874. The title, which translates to "The Grey Eminence," refers to François Leclerc du Tremblay, the right-hand man of Cardinal Richelieu, who was known for his grey friar's habit and his influential role in the politics of the period. The term has since come to denote a powerful advisor or decision-maker who operates behind the scenes.

The painting depicts du Tremblay descending the grand staircase of the Palais-Cardinal in Paris, the residence of Cardinal Richelieu. He is surrounded by various figures who represent the different facets of society and power structures of 17th-century France, including nobles, soldiers, and clergymen. The work is renowned for its meticulous detail, historical accuracy, and the way it captures the political intrigue of the era.

Gérôme's "L'Éminence Grise" is an exemplary piece of the academic art movement, showcasing the artist's skill in composition, lighting, and narrative storytelling. The painting is held in high esteem for its technical prowess and its evocative portrayal of a significant historical figure. It is part of the collection at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
