The Funeral Monument of Mazarin, created by the French sculptor Antoine Coysevox, is a significant baroque sculpture that commemorates Cardinal Jules Mazarin, a prominent political figure in French history. Jules Mazarin served as the Chief Minister to Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV and played a crucial role during the early years of Louis XIV's reign. Following Mazarin's death in 1661, his testament dictated the creation of a funerary monument to be housed in the Collège des Quatre-Nations (College of the Four Nations), which he founded in Paris.

Antoine Coysevox, born in Lyon in 1640, was commissioned to sculpt this elaborate monument. He is renowned for his mastery in portraying dynamic figures and intricate details, which is evident in this work. The monument showcases a blend of solemnity and grandeur, characteristic of the Baroque style, which was prevalent during this period. The sculpture features an elaborate depiction of Cardinal Mazarin lying in state, flanked by allegorical figures that represent virtues or themes associated with his life and career. These figures are crafted with a dramatic sense of movement and emotional intensity, typical of Coysevox's style.

The Funeral Monument of Mazarin not only serves as a burial memorial but also as a piece of art that conveys the political and cultural significance of its subject. It remains an important work for studies in Baroque sculpture and French art history, reflecting the artistic and political climate of the 17th century France. The monument is currently located in the Institut de France, the successor to the Collège des Quatre-Nations, where it continues to draw the attention of scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
