Georges de La Tour - Paintings
Georges de La Tour
, who created the category of night-style paintings reaching great mastery in the same, was an important representative of French Caravaggism.
Born in 1593 in Vic-sur-Seille near Nancy.
Died on January 30, 1652 in Luneville, Meurthe-et-Moselle.
Georges de La Tour, who was initially titled as poor-people painter because his style showed neither traces of Mannerism nor Baroque, soon gained a high social standing, and in 1646, he even became court painter of King Louis XIV. His historical paintings and genre paintings steeped in special spirituality are closely aligned to Caravaggio's light-dark paintings. Georges de La Tour was renowned for his night-style paintings, in which he depicted only a few people mainly standing largely in the foreground illuminated by an artificial light source. His paintings, which partly captivate by their simplicity created by their few geometric shapes, possess a special magic and psychological interpenetration of facial expressions and gestures of the depicted persons.
