"Der Lesende Kardinal" (The Reading Cardinal) is an oil painting by German artist Max Barascudts, created in 1900. This artwork depicts a cardinal deeply engrossed in reading a book, embodying a moment of quiet contemplation and intellectual pursuit. The painting is notable for its rich color palette and the meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the cardinal's attire and the intimate setting that surrounds him.

Barascudts, who lived from 1869 to 1927, was a Munich-based painter whose work often reflected the academic art traditions of the 19th century, with a focus on historical and religious themes. "Der Lesende Kardinal" is considered one of his more significant works, as it captures the essence of his style, which is characterized by a harmonious blend of realism and idealism.

The painting is appreciated for its serene atmosphere and the sense of timelessness it conveys, inviting viewers to reflect on the act of reading and the pursuit of knowledge. It also serves as an example of the cultural and artistic interests of the period, reflecting the values and aesthetics of the fin de siècle.

While "Der Lesende Kardinal" is not as widely recognized as the masterpieces of Barascudts's contemporaries, it remains an important piece within his oeuvre and offers insight into the broader artistic movements of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The painting is occasionally displayed in art exhibitions focusing on this era and can be found in private collections or museums specializing in German art from this period.
