Georges de La Tour
1593 – 1652
French painter, mostly of candlelit subjects, who was well known in his own time but then forgotten until well into the 20th century, when the identification of many formerly misattributed works established his modern reputation as a giant of French painting. The son of a baker, he is first documented as a painter in his native Vic at the time of his marriage contract in 1617. Three years later he moved to Lunéville, where he seems to have remained for the rest of his life.
