b. 1590, Paris, d. 1649, Paris.French painter and draughtsman. Although at the time regarded as one of the leading French painters of the first half of the 17th century, he is now known more for his influence on French painting than for his actual oeuvre. He made his reputation in Italy, where he executed numerous portraits for aristocratic patrons and was commissioned for religious subjects. Although the early Italian works show the influence of Caravaggio, his work was subsequently modified by the Baroque style of such painters as Lanfranco and the influence of the Venetian use of light and colour.  Related Paintings of Simon Vouet :. | Low resolution detail of the muse Urania from The Muses Urania and Calliope | Apollo and the Muses | Crucifixion qwr | Apollo und die Musen | Loth and his daughters, Simon Vouet |
