Georges de La Tour and His World
from National Gallery Washington
This beautiful volume presents a complete overview of the work and world of Georges de La Tour, once nearly forgotten but now considered one of the greatest painters of seventeenth-century France. Drawing on new technical and art historical material, the book explores such topics as La Tour`s development, the replication and dissemination of his work, his place as an artist in Counter Reformation Europe, and the parallels that link his work with that of other European artists.
Georges De La Tour
by Jacques Thuillier
from Flammarion
Georges de La Tour ranks with Vermeer and the Le Nain brothers among those seventeenth-century painters whose unmistakable talent is matched only by the aura of mystery that surrounds the artists themselves. Jacques Thuillier's groundbreaking monograph, first published in 1993, places La Tour's oeuvre in the specific context of the Lorraine region where he lived and worked, but also repositions La Tour alongside the greatest European masters. Available for the first time in paperback, this beautifully designed volume, complete with an illustrated catalogue raisonné and translations of key documentary sources, remains the essential reference work on this important and fascinating artist.
