Georges de la Tour French Baroque The Caravaggisti 5 Stars worthy Painting
Georges de la Tour was a French Baroque artist. He was a great fan of Caravaggio. Like him, he painted religious scenes using chiaroscuro. However, unlike Caravaggio, La Tour added a well defined light. He used the candles to represent divine light. No one is certain where La Tour learned to paint. Art Scholars also wonder when and were he saw Caravaggio's work. Not much is known about his life. One day, his family and himself died of the plague. All that remained of La Tour was his artwork. I think that is enough background information about Georges de la Tour. All we know for certain about him is that we hardly know anything about his life.
