Simon Vouet

French, 1590–1649

Simon Vouet (1590–1649) était un peintre français qui a gagné en reconnaissance en Italie avant d'être appelé en France par Louis XIII pour servir en tant que peintre en chef du roi. Lui et son atelier ont produit des scènes religieuses et mythologiques, des portraits, des fresques, des tapisseries et de grands projets décoratifs pour des mécènes royaux et riches, y compris le Cardinal Richelieu. Vouet a joué un rôle clé dans l'introduction du style Baroque italien en France et a été très influent à Paris durant sa carrière. Il était également connu pour son habileté au dessin et a occupé le poste de président à l'Accademia di San Luca à Rome.
