Baroque Painting in France
Famous exponents of Baroque-style French
painting (aside from Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain) include:
Phillippe de Champaigne (1602-74) Louis XIII's favourite portraitist and
religious painter; Gaspard Dughet (1615-75), Poussin's brother-in-law
noted for his decorative landscapes; Georges
de La Tour (1593-1652) famous for his peasant scenes and nocturnal
pictures with dramatic chiaroscuro effects; and the Le
Nain brothers - Antoine (1588-1648), Louis (1593-1648) and Mathieu
(1607-77), painters of large-scale altar-pieces and allegorical works.
