Image description

Siege of La Rochelle (1627-1628): Richelieu on the dam of La Rochelle. (Cardinal Armand Jean Du Plessis De Richelieu (1585-1642) recovered from his armor and the crimson cardinalice, stands isolated in the center of the canvas, on the dyke in front of the castle Marillac, behind the formidable candlesticks that defend the jetee, impassible in spite of the ball that has sinked a few not from him. Off the coast the battle that took place on October 3 and 4, 1628, raged. This painting is a veritable icon of textbooks and the legend of the cardinal in the 19th century, camping an inflexible minister, concerned with the unity of the state, unshakable and isolates in the fulfilment of his purpose, subject of inspiration to teach the greatness of France to the schoolchildren of J.Ferry. Painting by Henri Motte (1846-1922), oil on canvas, 110 x 140 cm, 1881. French art 19th century. Musee D'Orbigny Bernon, La Rochelle.
