Georges de La Tour

There is great simplicity and troubling realism in the figures of Georges de La Tour (1593-1652). Influenced by Caravaggio’s works, he painted with light tones as in his famous “Cardsharp with the Ace of Clubs”. His works also include several nocturnal scenes with striking chiaroscuro, simply lit up by the flame of a candle as in “Newborn” and “Adoration of the Shepherds”, which are at present conserved at the Louvre Museum.
