Place ActiveLorraine

BiographyLittle is known of Étienne de La Tour, son of the illustrious Georges de La Tour (1593-1652), except the date of his baptism in Lunéville — March 2, 1621 — and the references that are made to him as “painter” in 1646 and “master painter” in 1652. He appears to have moved to Vic-sur-Seille soon after his father’s death.
