'''Simon Vouet''' ({{IPA|fr|simɔ̃ vwɛ}}; 9 January 1590 – 30 June 1649) was a [[French language|French]] painter who studied and rose to prominence in Italy before being summoned by [[Louis XIII of France|Louis XIII]] to serve as [[Premier peintre du Roi]] in [[France]]. He and his studio of artists created religious and mythological paintings, portraits, frescoes, tapestries, and massive decorative schemes for the king and for wealthy patrons, including [[Armand Jean du Plessis de Richelieu|Richelieu]]. During this time, "Vouet was indisputably the leading artist in Paris,"<ref name="Posner">Posner, Donald. "''The Paintings of Simon Vouet'' " (book review), ''The Art Bulletin'', Vol. 45, No. 3 (Sept., 1963), pp. 286–291.</ref> and was immensely influential in introducing the Italian [[Baroque painting|Baroque style of painting]] to France. He was also, according to Pierre Rosenberg, "without doubt one of the outstanding seventeenth-century draughtsmen, equal to [[Annibale Carracci]] and [[Giovanni Lanfranco|Lanfranco]]."<ref>Rosenberg, Pierre."''Musée du Louvre, Cabinet des Dessins, Inventaire général des dessins, École française, Dessins de Simon Vouet 1590–1649'' by Barbara Brejon de Lavergnée" (book review). ''Master Drawings'', Vol. 25, No. 4 (Winter, 1987), p. 414.</ref>

==Career==
Simon Vouet was born on January 9, 1590, in Paris.<ref>{{Britannica|633069}}</ref> His father Laurent was a painter in Paris and taught him the rudiments of art. Simon's brother [[Aubin Vouet]] was also a painter, as also was Simon's wife [[Virginia da Vezzo]], their son Louis-René Vouet, their two sons-in-law, [[Michel Dorigny]] and [[François Tortebat]], and their grandson [[Ludovico Dorigny]].[[File:Virginia da Vezzo, the Artist's Wife, as the Magdalen LACMA M.83.201.jpg|thumbnail|left|260px|''Virginia da Vezzo, the Artist's Wife, as the Magdalen'' (c. 1627), [[LACMA]]]]
 
Simon began his career as a portrait painter. At age 14 he travelled to England to paint a commissioned portrait and in 1611 was part of the entourage of the [[Achille de Harlay de Sancy|Baron de Sancy]], French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, for the same purpose.  From [[Constantinople]] he went to Venice in 1612 and was in Rome by 1614.<ref name="Lavergnee">Brejon de Lavergnée, Barbara.

He received a pension from the King of France and his patrons included the [[Barberini family]], [[Cassiano dal Pozzo]], [[Paolo Giordano II Orsini|Paolo Giordano Orsini]] and [[Vincenzo Giustiniani]].<ref name="Lavergnee" /> He also visited other parts of Italy: Venice; Bologna (where the [[The Carracci|Carracci family]] had their academy); Genoa (where, from 1620 to 1622, he worked for the [[Doria (family)|Doria princes]]); and Naples. 

He was a natural [[Academic art|academic]], who absorbed what he saw and studied, and distilled it in his painting: [[Michelangelo Merisi|Caravaggio]]'s dramatic lighting; Italian Mannerism; [[Paolo Veronese]]'s color and ''[[di sotto in su]]'' or foreshortened perspective; and the art of [[Annibale Carracci|Carracci]], [[Guercino]], [[Giovanni Lanfranco|Lanfranco]] and [[Guido Reni]].

While in Rome he befriended artist [[Artemisia Gentileschi|Artimesia Gentileschi]] and painted her portrait in 1623.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Universalis |first=Encyclopædia |title=ARTEMISIA GENTILESCHI |url=https://www.universalis.fr/encyclopedie/artemisia-gentileschi/ |access-date=2022-12-11 |website=Encyclopædia Universalis |date=25 July 2012 |language=fr-FR}}</ref>

Vouet's immense success in Rome led to his election as president of the [[Accademia di San Luca]] in 1624.<ref name="Bissell">{{cite journal|last1=Bissell|first1=R. Ward|author-link1=R. Ward Bissell|title=Simon Vouet, Raphael, and the Accademia di San Luca in Rome|journal=Artibus et Historiae|date=2011|volume=32|issue=63|pages=55–72|jstor=41479737}}</ref> His most prominent official commission of the Italian period was an altarpiece for St Peter's in Rome (1625–1626), destroyed at some time after 1725 (though fragments remain.)<ref name=Bozzetto>Schleier, Erich.

[[File:Giuditta e Oloferne - Vezzi.png|thumbnail|260px|left|''Judith with the Head of Holofernes'' (c. 1624–1626) painted by [[Virginia da Vezzo]], the first wife of Simon Vouet, at the [[Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes]]]]In response to a royal summons, Vouet returned to France in 1627, where he was made [[Premier peintre du Roi]]. [[Louis XIII]] commissioned portraits, tapestry cartoons and paintings from him for the [[Louvre|Palais du Louvre]], the [[Luxembourg Palace|Palais du Luxembourg]] and the [[Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye]]. In 1632, he worked for [[Armand Jean du Plessis de Richelieu|Cardinal Richelieu]] at the [[Palais-Royal]] and the [[Château de Malmaison]]. In 1631 he decorated the château of the président de Fourcy, at Chessy, the hôtel Bullion, the château of [[Antoine Coiffier de Ruzé, marquis d'Effiat|Marshal d'Effiat]] at [[Chilly-Mazarin|Chilly]], the hôtel of the Duc d’Aumont, the Séguier chapel, and the gallery of the [[Château de Wideville]].

Today, a number of Vouet's paintings are lost, and "only two major decorative schemes survive, those for the chateaux of Colombes and Chessy,"<ref name="LavergnéeExhibitReview" /> but the details and imagery of many lost works are known from engravings by [[Michel Dorigny]], [[François Tortebat]], and [[Claude Mellan]].<ref name="Lavergnee" />

==Personal life==
[[File:Family Tree of the artist Simon Vouet.jpg|thumb|260px|Vouet family tree, simplified to show those known to be artists: Simon and his father, brother, wife, son, sons-in-law, and grandson]]In 1626 he married [[Virginia Vezzi|Virginia da Vezzo]], "a painter in her own right... known for her beauty,"{{r|Crelly|p=10}} who modeled as the Madonna and female saints for Vouet's religious commissions. The couple would have five children. Virginia Vouet died in France in 1638. Two years later Vouet married a French widow, Radegonde Béranger, with whom he had three more children.{{r|Crelly|p=13}}

==Legacy==
[[File:Vouet--St Francis of Paola resuscitating a child--1648--Quebec-- église-Saint-Henri-de-Lévis.jpg|thumb|260px|[[Francis of Paola|''St Francis of Paola'']] ''Resuscitating a Child'' (1648), L'église-Saint-Henri de Lévis, Quebec, "the apogee of French seventeenth-century painting."]]
As one art historian writes, "When Vouet returned to Paris in 1627, French art was painfully provincial and, by Italian standards, more than a quarter of a century behind the times. Vouet introduced the latest fashions, educated a group of talented young artists—and the public as well—and brought Paris up to date."<ref name="Posner" />

Vouet's style became uniquely his own, but was distinctly Italian, importing the Italian Baroque into France. A French contemporary, lacking the term "Baroque," said, "In his time the art of painting began to be practiced here in a nobler and more beautiful way than ever before." In his anticipation of the "two-dimensional, curvilinear freedom of rococo compositions a hundred years later...Vouet should perhaps be counted among the more important sources of eighteenth-century painting."{{r|Crelly|p=60}} In his works for the French royal court, "Vouet's importance as a formulator of official decorations is in some ways comparable to that of [[Rubens]]."{{r|Crelly|p=85}}

[[File:Vouet-Dorignt--Anne of Austria initials--grotesques--1647.jpg|thumb|left|An engraving by [[Michel Dorigny]] reproduces a section of the elaborate murals Vouet painted in the Palais-Royal in Paris for [[Anne of Austria]], a decorative scheme no longer extant.]]
Vouet's sizeable ''atelier'' or workshop produced a whole school of French painters for the following generation. His most influential pupil was [[Charles le Brun]], who organized all the interior decorative painting at [[Palace of Versailles|Versailles]] and dictated the official style at the court of [[Louis XIV of France]], but who jealously excluded Vouet from the [[Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture|Académie Royale]] in 1648.
 
Vouet's other students included [[Valentin de Boulogne]] (the main figure of the French [[Michelangelo Merisi|"''Caravaggisti''"]]), [[François Perrier (painter)|François Perrier]], [[Nicolas Chaperon]], [[Michel Corneille the Elder]], [[Charles Poërson]], [[Pierre Daret]], [[Charles Alphonse du Fresnoy]], [[Pierre Mignard]], [[Eustache Le Sueur]], [[Claude Mellan]], the Flemish artist [[Abraham Willaerts]], [[Michel Dorigny]], and [[François Tortebat]]. These last two became his sons-in-law. [[André Le Nôtre]], the garden designer of [[Versailles]], was a student of Vouet. Also in Vouet's circle was a friend from his Italian years, [[Claude Vignon]].

During his lifetime, writes Arnaud Brejon de Lavergnée, "Vouet's stature increased continually, his paintings becoming ever more beautiful, particularly in the last decade." But, "although his career was as brilliant as can be imagined," Vouet "played no role in the foundation of the [[Académie Royale]]" that was to be so dominant after his death, "and was neglected by the biographers and more influential amateurs. Between 1660 and 1690 only [[Poussin]] and [[Rubens]] were taken seriously...and later generations drew their own conclusions from this." Further eroding his legacy, "Vouet was undoubtedly at his greatest in these ensembles [his magnificent decorative schemes for chateaux and churches], most of which were destroyed during the [[French Revolution|Revolution]]" of the next century.<ref name="LavergnéeExhibitReview">Brejon de Lavergnée, Arnauld. "Paris: Vouet at the Grand Palais" (review of the exhibition). ''The Burlington Magazine'', Vol. 133, No. 1055 (Feb. 1991), pp. 136–140.</ref>

Though never entirely forgotten by connoisseurs and collectors (such as [[William Suida]]), Vouet fell into a relative obscurity that was not remedied until William R. Crelly's monograph of 1962,<ref name=Crelly /> and then by the major retrospective of Vouet's work at the Grand Palais in Paris in 1990–1991 with its colloquium<ref name="Loire">Loire Stéphane, editor. ''Simon Vouet: actes du colloque international Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, 5-6-7 février 1991'', Paris: Publication Information, c1992.</ref> and catalogue,<ref name="Thuillier">Thuillier, Jacques. ''Vouet: Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, Paris, 6 novembre 1990-11 février 1991'' (catalogue of the exhibition). Paris: Réunion des musées nationaux, c. 1990.</ref> which Brejon de Lavergnée says fulfilled "its aim of rehabilitating the artist."<ref name="LavergnéeExhibitReview" /> "The Simon Vouet retrospective…is still vividly remembered. Since then, studies of the painter, his circle and his students have abounded, defining the image of the artist and his workshop ever more clearly."<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.thearttribune.com/Simon-Vouet-the-Italian-years-1613.html |author=Rykner, Didier |title = Simon Vouet: The Italian Years 1613/1617 (review of the exhibit) |access-date= 2019-10-24 |publisher= thearttribune.com }}</ref>

The exhibition's organizer, Jacques Thuillier, "is surely justified in claiming the altarpiece of the ''Presentation of Jesus in the Temple'' as among the greatest masterpieces of seventeenth-century monumental painting," writes Brejon de Lavergnée, who further asserts that in the artist's works of the 1640s, such as ''Saint Francis of Paola Resuscitating a Child'', "one can see Vouet concluding his career with pictures of an immense gravity informed by an intense spiritual energy. Images of the greatest force, these paintings constitute the apogee of French seventeenth-century painting."<ref name="LavergnéeExhibitReview" />
