About the piece
This 1669 portrait by Giovanni Battista Gaulli, known as Baciccio, depicts Emmanuel-Théodose de la Tour d'Auvergne, the Cardinal de Bouillon. The work showcases the artist's mastery of the Baroque style through the luminous treatment of white lace, the dramatic sweep of the crimson drapery, and the dignified, youthful presence of the sitter.
