Special Issue Connaissance des arts. Georges de la tour, from shadow to light
1106
On the occasion of the major exhibition devoted to Georges de La Tour (1593-1652) at the Jacquemart-André Museum, from September 11, 2025, to January 25, 2026, Beaux Arts Éditions is publishing an exceptional special issue dedicated to this master of chiaroscuro.
Forgotten for centuries before being rediscovered in the 20th century, Georges de La Tour is now regarded as one of the foremost French painters of the 17th century. His compositions, striking in their simplicity, are illuminated by an intense light that powerfully reveals the inner depth and humanity of his figures.
This special issue retraces his artistic and personal journey, highlights his connections with Caravaggio and leading European painters of his time, and explores his innovations in the depiction of both religious and secular subjects. It also presents a panorama of the most remarkable works featured in the exhibition. A true reference work, it invites readers to rediscover the richness and mystery of a timeless artist.
