Georges De La Tour

Living in : Lunéville
Working in : Lunéville

An artist at the crossroads of Nordic, Italian, and French cultures, and a contemporary of Jacques Callot and the Le Nain brothers, La Tour was a keen observer of everyday life. His pronounced taste for the interplay of light and shadow made him one of Caravaggio's most original followers.
