He wears crimson fur-lined cardinal’s robes – a glimpse of his elaborate lace sleeve appears from beneath his ivory fur. He is seated against a plain greyish background decorated only with a length of red velvet fabric, the sweep of which echoes the diagonal lines of the cardinal’s collars and shoulder.\n\nOur painting is one of the numerous half-length studio copies of a 1728 portrait by Hyacinthe Rigaud, possibly made for James, 2nd Earl Waldegrave, in the years around 1734–5. The cardinal was 75 in 1728, but his comparatively youthful look here may be because the likeness was based on an earlier portrait (now lost) that Rigaud had painted in 1706 when Fleury was 52.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalgallery.org.uk\/paintings\/studio-of-hyacinthe-rigaud-cardinal-fleury\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"National Gallery of Art London - Cardinal Fleury\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eNational Gallery of Art, London\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Studio of Hyacinthe Rigaud","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":50509987807475,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (31 1\/2\" x 25 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509987840243,"sku":null,"price":1325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (19 7\/8\" x 16 1\/8\")","offer_id":50509987873011,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (24 3\/8\" x 19 3\/4\")","offer_id":50509987905779,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (29 7\/8\" x 24 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509987938547,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (38 1\/2\" x 31 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509987971315,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (46 1\/4\" x 37 1\/2\")","offer_id":50509988004083,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (54 1\/2\" x 44 1\/4\")","offer_id":50509988036851,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (65 3\/8\" x 53\")","offer_id":50509988069619,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/CardinalFleury.jpg?v=1788415113","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/cardinal-fleury-ngal1655","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
