123 For a discussion <strong>of</strong> this type <strong>of</strong> image, see ibid., 52-78.<br />

124 For Richelieu’s contributions to the façade, see Blond, Maison pr<strong>of</strong>esse, 63.<br />

125 The only works to analyze Richelieu’s role in the façade are Le Pas de Sécheval, "Politique<br />

was to contribute to the king’s support, making the church part <strong>of</strong> a larger policy to turn France<br />

into the premier center for the <strong>arts</strong>. Moisy claims that Richelieu’s support was inspired by<br />

aesthetics, arguing that the Cardinal’s financial gifts were the catalyst behind the switch to<br />

Der<strong>and</strong>’s façade.<br />

Description, 2:173-74; Piganiol de la Force, Description historique, 5:4.<br />

originals.<br />
