Paul Delaroche depicted the death of Cardinal Mazarin, the powerful minister who shaped this 17th-century France. The dying statesman is shown surrounded by attendants as he faces his final moments, a scene combining historical accuracy with theatrical drama.
Delaroche specialized in historical subjects rendered with careful attention to costume and setting. His paintings brought French and English history to life for 19th-century audiences. The work is at the Wallace Collection in London.
