"Portrait of Cardinal Richelieu" is an oil painting by the Flemish artist Sir Anthony van Dyck, created circa 1633-40. The painting depicts Armand Jean du Plessis, better known as Cardinal Richelieu, who was a prominent French clergyman, nobleman, and statesman, serving as King Louis XIII's Chief Minister. Richelieu's central role in the consolidation of royal power and the development of absolutism in France, as well as his influence in European politics, made him an important figure of the period.

Van Dyck, a leading court painter in England and a protégé of Peter Paul Rubens, was renowned for his portraits of European aristocracy. His portrayal of Cardinal Richelieu is considered one of the most iconic images of the Cardinal, capturing both his political gravitas and the refined elegance of the courtly circles in which he moved. The painting is noted for its exquisite rendering of the Cardinal's delicate features, the sumptuous red of his cardinal's robes, and the subtle interplay of light and shadow that suggests the depth of his character.

The portrait is a testament to Van Dyck's mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey the sitter's personality and status. It is held in high regard not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical significance, offering a glimpse into the power dynamics and cultural milieu of 17th-century France. The painting is part of the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it remains an important work in the canon of European portraiture.
