Georges de La Tour
Georges de La Tour (1593–1652) was a French
painter.
Life
The known information on George de La Tour's life
begins in 1620 when he established his studio in Luneville, painting
religious and genre scenes. He was given the title "Painter
to the King" in 1639 and affluence followed.
Works
Saint Joseph charpentier, 1642, LouvreHe was known best for his
nocturnal light effects and simplified form painting. One of his
most famous works, Education of the Virgin, is displayed at The
Frick Collection in New York.
Although his initial work was executed in a Mannerist
style, he later showed influence of Caravaggio. La Tour's work went
unrecognized after his death in 1652 but was rediscovered by a German
scholar in 1915.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
