In the life of Simon Vouet

The whole life

  1. 1627–1649

    Post: Premier peintre du Roi

  2. 1638

    Death of his wife Virginia

    Virginia da Vezzo died in France — a Roman, “a painter known for her beauty”, Vouet's pupil and the model for his Madonnas, and the mother of his five children.

  3. 1640

    The king sets Poussin against Vouet

    Louis XIII summoned Nicolas Poussin, famous in Italy, to Paris with the words “Now Vouet is caught!” and deliberately set the two painters against each other. Vouet, a friend of Poussin, probably chose not to stop his supporters' pamphlets; in the end Poussin returned to Italy and Vouet kept his primacy at court.

  4. 1640

    Marries Radegonde Béranger

    Two years after Virginia's death Vouet married a French widow, Radegonde Béranger, with whom he had three more children.
