The work and its artist

Georges de La Tour (1593-1652)

Georges de La Tour (1593-1652) was a 17th-century French painter. Born in Lorraine, he was inspired by the Italian masters and Caravaggism, but developed a personal style marked by nocturnal lighting effects and a rather silent atmosphere. His works feature figures with sculptural faces and meditative attitudes. Forgotten after his death, he was rediscovered in the 20th century and is considered one of the great masters of chiaroscuro. His best-known works include Le Nouveau-Né and La Madeleine à la veilleuse.
