Post lot text FERDINAND-VICTOR-EUGÈNE DELACROIX, CARDINAL RICHELIEU, GRAPHITE, INSCRIBEDThis study is preparatory for the central figure in a painting Cardinal Richelieu saying mass in his chapel in the Palais Royal, commissioned in 1828 by the Duc d’Orléans (the future Louis-Philippe) to decorate his ‘Galerie historique’ of the Palais Royal. Exhibited at the Salon of 1831 (no. 522), the picture but destroyed in the fire at the Palais Royal during the revolutionary riots of 1848 (L. Johnson, The Paintings of Eugène Delacroix. A Critical Catalogue, 1816-1831, I, Oxford, 1981, no. 131, II, pl. 115). The composition is known from prints (see Johnson, op. cit., I, p. 127, under no. 130, II, pl. 115); from a replica on canvas dated 1842, which recently entered the collection of the Musée Eugène Delacroix in Paris (inv. MD 2015-7; see ibid., no. 132, ill.); and from a more rapidly executed painted sketch on canvas recorded in the collection of Mme D. David Weil, which Delacroix presented to his patron for approval of the composition (ibid., I, no. 130, II, pl. 114).A rapidly drawn version of the composition worked up with watercolour, connected to the replica in the Musée Delacroix, is at the Musée Condé in Chantilly (inv. M5052; see N. Garnier-Pelle, Trésors du cabinet des dessins du musée Condé à Chantilly. Histoire de la collections du duc d’Aumale, exhib. cat., Chantilly, Musée Condé, 2005, no. 69, ill.). A graphite sketch for the kneeling priest is recorded in the collection of Edward M.M. Warburg, New York (Sérullaz, op. cit., no. 132, ill.). Other related drawings are recorded in the sale of Delacroix’ estate (lot 321; see also Johnson, op. cit., I, p. 128, under no. 130). In an undated letter from 1828, Delacroix asked his friend Louis-Auguste de Schwiter to make a copy of the head of the cardinal in Philippe de Champaigne’s painted portrait at the Louvre (inv. 1136) to base his depiction of the statesman on (letter published in Correspondance générale d’Eugène Delacroix, I, Paris, 1935, p. 220).
