Review: Georges de La Tour at the Musée Jacquemart-André

Georges de La Tour, The New-born, c. 1645. Oil on canvas, 76.7 x 95.5 cm., Rennes, Musée des beaux-arts.

A softly lit painting by Georges de La Tour shows two women gazing in reverence at a swaddled infant glowing with radiant light, evoking a nativity scene without overt religious symbols.

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