EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the History of France, specifically during the War of the Succession of Mantua (1628-1631) within the larger context of the Thirty-Year War. The image depicts the Battle of Pas de Suze (Susa), showcasing King Louis XIII (1601-1643) and Cardinal Richelieu (Armand Jean du Plessis, 1585-1642) leading an invasion into the Duchy of Savoy. Illustrated by Maurice Leloir (1853-1940) for his work "Richelieu" in 1901, this piece offers a glimpse into a tumultuous period marked by political intrigue and military conflicts. The composition exudes energy and tension as soldiers engage in combat on a battlefield strewn with chaos. King Louis XIII stands tall, embodying both strength and determination, while Cardinal Richelieu's presence symbolizes his influential role as chief minister to the king. Their collaboration during this campaign highlights their shared commitment to expanding French influence and securing strategic territories. The historical significance of this event cannot be understated; it represents not only France's ambitions but also its involvement in broader European conflicts that shaped nations' destinies. This remarkable print from Maurice Leloir's private collection serves as a testament to his artistic prowess in capturing history through vivid imagery. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one episode from France's rich tapestry—a reminder that even amidst war and strife, art can immortalize moments that would otherwise fade into obscurity.
