The Triple Portrait of the Head of Richelieu (1642) is a celebrated painting by the French Baroque artist Philippe de Champaigne. Considered one of de Champaigne's most notable works, this tripartite depicts Cardinal Armand Jean du Plessis, Duke Richelieu, who served as the chief minister of France between 1624 and 1642 under Louis XIII.

The oil on canvas artwork employs a distinct, three-faced perspective style, presenting Richelieu in three-quarter view, profile and full face. This conventionally serves to provide sculptors with comprehensive facial references for a bust, but in this instance, it stands as a powerful testament to Richelieu's influence. Reflecting Richelieu's vital role in consolidating royal power and his dominance in French politics, the painting captures the spirit of the subject, in a way that goes beyond physical likeness.

Rendered with meticulous detail and masterly realism that underline de Champaigne's Flemish roots, the portrait confronts viewers with Richelieu's determined gaze and austere demeanor. This presentation offers insights into the complexities of the Cardinal's character—his ambition, intelligence, determination, and sternness.

Today, the painting belongs to the esteemed collection of The National Gallery, London. The Triple Portrait of the Head of Richelieu continues to be admired for its innovative approach to portraiture, historical significance, and its role in demonstrating the heights that Baroque art achieved in France.
