About this title

Synopsis

Georges de La Tour, now considered one of the greatest painters of 17th-century France, was virtually forgotten until the early 20th century. Since the major retrospective in Paris in 1972, new paintings have continued to emerge. This beautiful book is a complete overview of La Tour's work and will serve as the catalogue for a major exhibition opening at the National Gallery in October 1996. 40 b&w illustrations. 150 color plates.

From Publishers Weekly

Like his contemporary, Caravaggio (represented here by one picture), Georges de La Tour is best known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro, particularly for his Nocturnes, in which a single candle lights a figure. This year, an exhibition currently at the National Gallery of Art through January 5, 1997, gathers nearly 50 pictures by the artist and his contemporaries under the rubric Georges de La Tour and His World. The accompanying catalogue, edited by Philip Conisbee, looks at de La Tour's development, influence, his subject matter and the northern Caravaggisti, through essays and 178 illustrations (95 in color).
