"The Repentance of the Grand Condé" is a historical painting by Michel Corneille the Younger, also known as Michel des Gobelins Corneille, a French painter of the 17th century. Born into a family of prominent artists, Corneille was known for his work in the classical French Baroque style, and he became a member of the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture in 1663. His painting, "The Repentance of the Grand Condé," depicts a significant moment in the life of Louis II de Bourbon, Prince of Condé, commonly referred to as the Grand Condé, a French general and one of the most notable military commanders in the history of France.

The Grand Condé was a complex figure who was initially celebrated for his military victories in the Thirty Years' War and the Franco-Spanish War, but later fell out of favor with the French court after leading a series of civil wars known as the Fronde against the young King Louis XIV. His eventual repentance and return to loyalty were seen as a pivotal moment in French history, symbolizing the themes of redemption and the reconciliation of a once-rebellious noble with the monarchy.

Corneille's painting captures the emotional intensity of the Grand Condé's repentance, utilizing dramatic lighting and expressive figures to convey the gravity of the moment. The artwork is a testament to the Baroque era's emphasis on emotion, movement, and theatricality, and it serves as an example of the period's artistic efforts to glorify the monarchy and promote political stability through visual narratives.

The painting's historical significance, as well as its artistic merit, make it an important work in the oeuvre of Michel Corneille the Younger. It reflects the political and cultural milieu of 17th-century France, where art was often used as a tool for political propaganda and to reinforce the divine right of kings. "The Repentance of the Grand Condé" is not only a representation of a specific event in French history but also an illustration of the broader artistic and political currents of the time.
