Georges de La Tour

The Musée Jacquemart-André is honouring Georges de La Tour !

The Musée Jacquemart-André is continuing its exploration of the masters influenced by the Caravaggio revolution by showcasing the work of Georges de La Tour (1593-1652). This retrospective will be the first devoted to the artist in France since the historic exhibition at the Grand Palais in 1997.

The exhibition at the Musée Jacquemart-André will offer a new interpretation of Georges de La Tour’s career, attempting to shed light on the questions that still surround both his work and the path he followed. The exhibition route will explore his favourite subjects — genre scenes, figures of penitent saints, artificial lighting effects — whilst placing his life and work in the wider context of European Caravaggism.
