Cardinal Richelieu, Siege of La Rochelle, 1627–28 [WME 2025 PREORDER]

WME 2025 Preorder – Cardinal Richelieu, Siege of La Rochelle | Cardinal Richelieu 75mm Historical Miniature

Statesman, strategist, and symbol of absolute power—Cardinal Richelieu was more than a man of the Church. In 1627, during the Siege of La Rochelle, he stood at the heart of military command, clad in regalia, orchestrating one of the most politically significant campaigns of 17th-century France. This Cardinal Richelieu 75mm historical miniature immortalizes that fusion of faith and force.

Hand-sculpted with grace and precision, the figure reflects Richelieu’s dual nature: devout and authoritative, elegant yet unyielding. His robe flows over ornate armor, a sword rests at his side, and a composed yet commanding posture suggests both divine mission and calculated leadership. The calm expression contrasts with the storm that surrounded him—a siege not only of stone, but of ideals.

Every detail on this resin figure—from the textures of the sash to the smooth folds of the cloak and the ornamental cross—offers layers of interpretation. The sculpt emphasizes poise over action, power over motion, giving the painter space to explore subtle shadows, rich reds, gold accents, and narrative restraint.

The base evokes the pavements of court or battlefield command posts, anchoring the figure in both worlds. Whether placed among figures of war or diplomacy, Richelieu stands out for his unique place in European history: a cleric who commanded armies and shaped monarchies.
