Georges de La Tour (1593-1652), French painter of the 17th century. Born in the independent Duchy of Lorraine, Georges de La Tour led a brilliant career, working for prestigious patrons and collectors, such as the Dukes of Lorraine, Cardinal Richelieu and King Louis XIII, before falling into oblivion after his death in 1652. Light is a real subject of his paintings, notably the use of spirituality.
