Detailed description :D’où vient la lumière ?

D’où vient la lumière ?

Dans l’univers des peintres du XVIIe siècle

Author(s): Patrick  Le Chanu, Manon  Potvin

€ 0.00 tax included

Painting invites us to see the light – or rather the effects of light – that it reproduces and creates.

This booklet places the representation of light, in its sources and its effects, as an essential element of the visual language. The theme is illustrated here with fifteen or so works by 17th-century European painters such as Caravaggio, La Tour, Vermeer and Rembrandt.
