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

Georges de La Tour, St John the Baptist in the Wilderness, c. 1650. Oil on canvas, 81,6 x 101 x 2,5 cm., Musée départemental Georges de La Tour, Vic-sur-Seille.

A gaunt adolescent figure kneels in a barren setting, one hand holding a long wooden staff and the other reaching toward a lamb, his body lit starkly against a deep shadow.

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