Special Issue Beaux-Arts. Georges De La Tour, from shadow to light
1105
On the occasion of the exceptional exhibition devoted to Georges de La Tour (1593-1652) at the Jacquemart-André Museum (September 11, 2025 - January 25, 2026), Beaux Arts Éditions is publishing a special issue entirely dedicated to this master of chiaroscuro.
Rediscovered in the 20th century, Georges de La Tour is now recognized as one of the greatest French painters of the 17th century. His canvases, marked by striking sobriety, are bathed in dramatic light that reveals the interiority and humanity of his figures.
This special issue explores his artistic and personal journey, his connections with Caravaggio and other European painters of his time, his technical innovations in the treatment of religious and secular subjects, as well as a selection of the finest works featured in the exhibition. A true reference work, it sheds light on the oeuvre of this mysterious and timeless artist.
