	Maurice Quentin De La Tour - LoveToKnow 1911
		MAURICE QUENTIN DE LA TOUR (1704-1788), French pastellist, was born at St Quentin on the 5th of September 1704.
		In 1737 La Tour exhibited the first of that splendid series of a hundred and fifty portraits which formed the glory of the Salon for the succeeding thirty-seven years.
		His portraits of Rousseau, of Voltaire, of Louis XV., of his queen, of the dauphin and dauphiness, are at once documents and masterpieces unsurpassed except by his life-size portrait of Madame de Pompadour, which, exhibited at the Salon of 1755, became the chief ornament of the cabinet of pastels in the Louvre.

	Maurice Quentin De La Tour - 1704-1788
		MAURICE QUENTIN DE LA TOUR (pronounced Lah Toor), the greatest of French pastellists, was born in the ancient town of Saint-Quentin, France, on September 5, 1704.
		La Tour saw them, and, more than ever fired with the ambition to be a painter, announced his desire to his father, who, sceptical as to the success of such a step, flatly refused his consent.
		La Tour, whose health was never robust, finding his sensitive nerves unpleasantly affected by the smell of oils, profited by this vogue, and adopted pastel as the sole medium of his portraits, quickly superseding all others in popular estimation.

		Maurice-Quentin de La Tour carried the difficult and capricious pastel medium to a point of sheer technical brilliance not reached before or since.
		La Tour was at his best when concentrating on the face alone.
		His self-portrait is marked by characteristics that aptly describe his style: the tremendous handling and technique, the humorous look to the eyes and the slight upturn of the lips, all of which lend a vivid actuality and personality to the sitter.

	Portraiture - TIME
		La Tour, though a native of Picardy, cannily proclaimed himself an English painter.
		Not long afterwards, a counselor to Louis XV wrote admiringly that "La Tour is becoming the portraitist a la mode." Louis summoned La Tour to Versailles, where he limned the monarch's handsome features, as well as those of the royal family and Madame de Pompadour.
		La Tour portrayed his clients as they wished to see themselves, studiously recording their brilliant satins and laces, ignoring the facial lines of aging noblemen and their mistresses.
