Biography:
The known information on George de La Tour’s life begins in 1620 when he established his studio in Luneville and painting religious and genre scenes. He was given the title Painter to the King in 1639 and affluence followed. 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.
