♦️ The Newborn Child ♦️⠀ ⠀ 👨🎨By: Georges de la Tour⠀ ⠀ 📚 This painting is sometimes thought to be a representation of the Madonna and Child (with the left-hand woman as St Anne) in the form of a genre scene - it is thus also known as The Nativity. La Tour is best known for the nocturnal light effects which he developed much further than his artistic predecessors had done, and transferred their use in the genre subjects in the paintings of the Dutch Caravaggisti to religious painting in his. Unlike Caravaggio his religious paintings lack dramatic effects. He painted these in a second phase of his style, perhaps beginning in the 1640s, using chiaroscuro, careful geometrical compositions, and very simplified painting of forms. His work moves during his career towards greater simplicity and stillness. ⠀

What a beautiful painting by Georges de la Tour! His mastery of nocturnal light effects and religious themes is truly captivating. The simplicity and stillness in his work are so powerful. A true gem of art history.
