VOUET, SIMON (1590-1649)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 219 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VOUET, SIMON (1590-1649) , French painter, was born at Paris on the 9th of January 1590. He passed many years in Italy, where he married, and established himself 'at Rome, enjoying there a high reputation as a portrait painter. Louis XIII. recalled him to France and lodged him in the Louvre with the
title
  of First Painter to the Crown. All royal
work
  for the palaces of the Louvre and the Luxembourg was placed in his hands; the king became his
pupil
 ; he formed a large school, and renewed the traditions of that of Fcntainebleau. Among his scholars was the famous Le Brun. Vouet was an exceedingly skilful painter, especially in decoration, and executed important works of this class for
Cardinal
 
Richelieu
  (Rueil and I'alais Royal) and other
great
  nobles. His better easel pictures
bear
  a curious resemblance to those of Sassoferrato. Almost everything he did was engraved by his sons-in-law Tortebat and Dorigny.
