Georges de la Tour
Over barely a century, Georges de La Tour (1593-1652) has gone from being virtually unknown to being acknowledged as one of the most popular figures in the history of French painting. Both the exhibition and the catalogue offer an overview of the painter's style, the subtle development of his technique, and the different treatments afforded to the personages that interested him.In this catalogue, renowned specialists in baroque painting update our knowledge of the painter, with texts from Jean-Pierre Cuzin, Guillaume Kazerouni, Dimitri Salmon and Andrés Úbeda de los Cobos, Chief Curator of Italian and French Painting (up to 1700) at the Museo del Prado and co-curator of the exhibition.
