Derweil im Leben von Simon Vouet
Das ganze Leben1623
Friendship with Artemisia Gentileschi
In Rome Vouet befriended the painter Artemisia Gentileschi and painted her portrait in 1623. He was also on friendly terms with Nicolas Poussin and the Lorrainer Claude Mellan, both working in Rome.

Returns to Paris at the summons of Louis XIII
At the royal summons Vouet returned to France; Louis XIII commissioned from him portraits, tapestry cartoons and paintings for the Louvre, the Palais du Luxembourg and the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye. As one art historian writes, French art was then “painfully provincial”, and Vouet, introducing the latest Italian fashions, brought Paris up to date.
