Georges de La Tour, Boy Blowing on a Firebrand, 1646. Oil on canvas, 70.8 x 61.5 cm., Tokyo Fuji Art Museum.

A young boy in a red coat and dark cap carefully blows on a smoldering firebrand, his face partially illuminated by the ember’s glow in a study of candleless light.

“From Shadow to Light” is on view at the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris through January 25, 2026
