Title:	Jules Mazarin, Kardinaal
Artist:	Picart, Bernard (Paris, 1673 - Amsterdam, 1733)
Date:	1729
Medium:	Original Engraving
Note:	Bernard Picart: An exceptional French eighteenth century engraver, Bernard Picart received his artistic education from his father, Etienne (1632-1721), and from Le Brun and Jouvenet at the Royal Academy. To say that Bernard Picart's considerable talents developed rapidly would be an understatement: at the age of sixteen he gained honors at the Academy of Paris. He moved permanently to Amsterdam in 1710. At this time, this city was a major center for both publishing and printmaking and for the following two decades Bernard Picart's fine work placed him as the successor to Romeyn de Hooghe.
	Bernard Picart excelled chiefly in the fields of portraiture, ornamental designs and mythological and religious subjects, both after the old masters and upon his own creation. In the former category he was commissioned for portraits of Philip, Duke of Orleans, Eugene Francois, Prince of Savoy, Don Luis, Prince of the Asturias, Cardinal Jules Mazarin, and Kings Charles I, Charles II, James II, William III and George I. As an ornamental engraver, Bernard Picart designed and engraved plates for numerous books. He also contributed large plates to such famous sets as Les Impostures Innocentes (seventy-eight large engravings in imitation of old master engravers), the historically important Ceremonies Religieuses (1723-1743), and The Temple of the Muses (Neu-Erofneer Musen-Tempel).
	Jules Mazarin, Kardinaal: In 17th century France, Cardinals were often found in high political positions. Richelieu rose to be the personal advisor to the King, the First Minister of France and surely the most powerful man of his time on the continent. Such was also the case with his successor, Cardinal Jules Mazarin. Gaining great favour in the Pope's military service, Mazarin was sent to France in 1634. Richelieu died in 1642 leaving the First Minister post to Jules Mazarin. During his years in office, he was most noted for his shrewd foreign policies, creating alliances with Cromwell in England and deftly unburdening Spain of some of its border territories. At home, however, it was quite a different matter, he was known for his policies of heavy taxation and more than once, a coalition of nobles tried to remove him from office. Yet he remained at his post undaunted until his death in 1661. It was left to his nephews and nieces to divide one of the greatest personal fortunes in Europe.
