"Cardinal Richelieu" is a 19th-century painting by Polish artist Ladislaus Bakalowicz (1833–1904), depicting Armand Jean du Plessis, better known as Cardinal Richelieu, who was a prominent French clergyman, nobleman, and statesman. Richelieu served as King Louis XIII's Chief Minister from 1624 until his death in 1642 and is often credited with consolidating royal power and shaping the supremacy of France in Europe.

Bakalowicz, who spent much of his career in France, was known for his historical and genre paintings, which frequently featured scenes from the French court and aristocracy. In "Cardinal Richelieu," Bakalowicz captures the Cardinal in a moment of contemplation, surrounded by the opulence of his surroundings, which reflects the power and influence he wielded during his tenure. The painting is a testament to Bakalowicz's skill in portraiture and his interest in the political and social dynamics of the past.

The artwork is characterized by its rich color palette and attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of textures and fabrics, which was a hallmark of Bakalowicz's style. The Cardinal's austere expression and the painting's composition contribute to the portrayal of Richelieu as a calculating and formidable figure in French history.

"Cardinal Richelieu" by Ladislaus Bakalowicz is a significant work that not only showcases the artist's technical prowess but also serves as a visual exploration of a key historical figure's persona and the intricate politics of his era. The painting is an important piece for those interested in French history, Baroque art, and the legacy of Cardinal Richelieu.
