"Henri Joseph Claude de Bourdeilles, Bishop of Soissons by Louis Carrogis Carmontelle" is an 18th-century portrait by the French artist and writer Louis Carrogis, commonly known as Carmontelle. The artwork depicts Henri Joseph Claude de Bourdeilles, who served as the Bishop of Soissons from 1761 until his death in 1783. Carmontelle, renowned for his portraits and landscape works, was also an inventor of transparents and the Projections Transparentes, a form of proto-cinema.

The portrait is executed in Carmontelle's delicate and detailed style, capturing the bishop in his ecclesiastical robes, which signify his high office within the Catholic Church. The artwork reflects the cultural and artistic milieu of the French Enlightenment, a period characterized by a burgeoning interest in intellectualism, portraiture, and the exploration of individual identity.

As a notable figure of the French clergy, Henri Joseph Claude de Bourdeilles's portrayal by Carmontelle would have been of interest to the social elite and those involved in the ecclesiastical and political spheres of the time. The portrait not only serves as a historical record of the bishop's visage but also as an example of Carmontelle's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects, blending realism with the grace and elegance typical of the period's aesthetic.

The painting is significant for its artistic merit, its representation of an important religious figure, and its contribution to the understanding of French portraiture during the Enlightenment. It stands as a testament to the era's artistic achievements and the enduring legacy of both the subject, Henri Joseph Claude de Bourdeilles, and the artist, Louis Carrogis Carmontelle.
