EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Hyacinthe Louis, Comte de Quelen (1778-1839), the Archbishop of Paris, is depicted with an air of authority and piety. The image, captured in the late 18th or early 19th century, showcases the ecclesiastical leader in his full regalia, including a mitre adorned with crosses and a robe embroidered with gold. The archbishop's piercing gaze and serious expression convey a deep sense of devotion and responsibility. Born in Bordeaux, France, Quelen rose through the ranks of the Catholic Church, eventually becoming the Archbishop of Paris in 1824. During his tenure, he played a significant role in the restoration of the Catholic Church in France following the French Revolution. Quelen worked tirelessly to rebuild churches, restore religious orders, and promote the faith. He was also known for his efforts to improve the living conditions of the poor and to promote education. Quelen's autograph, inscribed below the portrait, adds a personal touch to the image. The signature, written in elegant script, serves as a reminder of the man behind the image – a man who dedicated his life to serving his faith and his community. This historic portrait of Hyacinthe Louis, Comte de Quelen, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a prominent French churchman during a time of great change and upheaval. The image is a testament to the enduring power of faith and the resilience of the Catholic Church in the face of adversity.
