EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Jean-Francois-Paul de Gondy, coadjuteur de l archeveque de Paris, who would later become the renowned Cardinal de Retz. Dating back to the 17th century, this etching by Jean Morin showcases a man of great influence and power within the Catholic Church. Dressed in his cardinal robes, Cardinal de Retz stands tall with an air of authority and wisdom. The intricate details of his attire reflect his high-ranking position as a churchman and politician. His gaze is fixed on something beyond the frame, hinting at his deep contemplation and dedication to matters of faith. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to this portrait, emphasizing both the seriousness and grace that define Cardinal de Retz's character. A crucifix hangs from his neck, symbolizing his unwavering devotion to Christianity. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported to 17th-century France - a time when religion played a central role in society. This photograph serves as a reminder of the influential figures who shaped politics and spirituality during that era. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate not only Jean Morin's artistic talent but also provides insight into an important chapter in French history.
