"Richelieu" is a notable oil on canvas portrait by the French Baroque painter Philippe de Champaigne, which depicts Cardinal Richelieu, one of the most influential figures in French history. The painting is one of several portraits of the Cardinal by Champaigne, who was a favored artist of the French court and particularly of Richelieu himself. This work is often celebrated for its meticulous detail and the insight it provides into the character of the Cardinal, as well as its representation of the power and prestige of the French clergy during the 17th century.

The portrait shows Cardinal Richelieu in his ecclesiastical robes, conveying both his religious authority and his political power. Richelieu is depicted with a stern and contemplative expression, indicative of his reputation as a shrewd politician and strategist. The painting is characterized by its rich color palette, precise rendering of the Cardinal's features, and the elaborate lace and fabric of his vestments, all of which exemplify Champaigne's skill in portraiture and his attention to detail.

Philippe de Champaigne was a prominent painter of the French Baroque period, known for his portraits, religious subjects, and his role as a co-founder of the Académie de peinture et de sculpture. His works are distinguished by their clarity, realism, and adherence to classical artistic values, which were partly a response to the more exuberant style of the preceding Mannerist period.

The "Richelieu" portrait is not only a significant work of art from a historical and aesthetic perspective but also serves as a visual document of the era's political and religious dynamics. It is held in high esteem within the oeuvre of Philippe de Champaigne and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a representation of Cardinal Richelieu's enduring legacy in French history.
