About the piece
Georges de La Tour’s 'The Newborn' (c. 1645) is a quintessential example of the artist’s mastery over chiaroscuro. The composition focuses on the intimate connection between the women and the swaddled child, bathed in the warm, dramatic light of a single hidden candle that casts the background into profound silence and highlights the rich red tones of the garments.
