Presentation on theme: "Caravaggio or La Tour Why?"— Presentation transcript:

1 Caravaggio or La Tour Why? La Tour was an artist in France. He was one of Caravaggio’s followers; he became the court painter to King Louis XIII in 1639. Caravaggio worked in Italy from 1593 (when he moved to Rome) until his death in 1610. Can you train your eye to distinguish between a Caravaggio and a La Tour?

2 As a formal style, Baroque is characterized by
open compositions in which elements are placed or seem to move diagonally in space a loose, free technique in which the artist uses rich colors and dramatic contrasts of light and dark tenebrism : a technique in which forms emerge from a dark background into a strong light that often falls from a single source outside the painting visual verisimilitude; naturalism; a desire for realism Often in Baroque Art, the viewer is purposefully drawn into the frame of the work of art so that the viewer becomes a participant. This effect may be achieved through the composition or the content of the work. The viewer was expected to be emotionally involved in the work of art; the work was intended to draw the viewer in visually and/or emotionally.
