Vouet's career overshadowed today by that of Poussin, Vouet was nonetheless the most influential French painter of his generation.
From 1636-1640 Vouet was engaged in the task of decorating the gallery of the King’s favorite palace of Saint Germain (both the old and new buildings) of which the paintings Allegory of Charity and Allegory of Riches (Paris, Louvre) are particularly notable examples, while providing a series of paintings for the chapels of both chateaux.
The recent Vouet exhibition held at the Grand Palais in Paris in the winter of 1990-91 culminated with a splendid altar-painting produced for the Church of Saint-Mederic, The Adoration of the Divine Name by Four Saints.

 SIMON VOUET - The Holy Family
As with his contemporaries, Valentin, Regnier and Tournier, Vouet was first attracted by the example of Caravaggio, the dominant influence not only on most Italian and French painters (with the notable exception of Poussin), but also on a succession of northern artists who studied in Rome.
The recent Vouet exhibition held at the Grand Palais in Paris in the winter of 1990-91 culminated with a splendid altar-piece produced for the Church of Saint-Mederic, The Adoration of the Divine Name by Four Saints.
The rich, dark green of the curtain behind is particularly striking, although the grand, gilded throne in which the Virgin is seated demonstrates that Vouet was unwilling to present the Holy Family in the kind of crude setting in which one might expect to have found them.

 Simon Vouet - Definition, explanation
Simon Vouet (1590 - 1649) was the French painter and draftsman who introduced the Italian Baroque style to France.
Vouet's new style was distinctly Italian, after his years of study in Italy, from 1613 to 1627, mostly in Rome where the Baroque style was originating in these years, but he also visited Venice, Bologna, where the Caracci had their academy, and Genoa and Naples.

 Simon Vouet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vouet's allegory La Richesse was painted ca 1640 for one of the royal chateaux of France (Louvre)
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," and the allegory of "Riches" (illustration, right) demonstrates a new heroic sense of volumes, a breadth and confidence without decorative mannerisms.
Compare French Baroque artists Philippe de Champaigne, Nicolas Poussin and above all, Charles le Brun, his most influential pupil, who organized all the interior decorative painting at Versailles and dictated official style at the court of Louis XIV of France, but who jealously excluded Vouet from the Académie Royale in 1648.

 Glossary - Simon Vouet/Different versions
We know at least four paintings Vouet made on this theme (one in the Louvre, one in the Museo de Epinal, one in Brussel, and one in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge) and we know about the existence of a fifth work, the most important one, which has disappeared (for the Hotel Séguier in Paris).
Many reasons could bring a painter to repeat his works many times (for fashion, for important commissions, for his own taste and ideas).
El Greco, for example, produced at least 16 versions of The Mourning of St. Peter, and Claude Monet painted 18 canvases portraying the Cathedral of Rouen.

When he was summoned back to France by Louis XIII in 1627 he thus brought with him an Italian idiom hitherto unknown in France that revitalized French painting (see FRANCE, §III, 3).
His style became highly popular among Parisian aristocrats who saw in Vouet a painter capable of decorating their hôtels and châteaux in a manner that would rival the palazzi of their Italian counterparts.
Although much of his oeuvre has been lost, it is known from the work of such distinguished engravers as Claude Mellan and Michel Dorigny, who reproduced and circulated his work.
