Nel frattempo, nella vita di Simon Vouet
Tutta la vita1623
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.
1624
Head of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome
His immense success in Rome brought Vouet election as principe (president) of the Accademia di San Luca.
aprile 1626
Married: Virginia Vezzi
1627
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.
1630
Lodgings and a studio in the Louvre
Vouet was given lodgings and a studio in the Louvre; his Paris workshop trained a whole school of French painters of the next generation — among its pupils was André Le Nôtre, creator of the gardens of Versailles, while Michel Dorigny and François Tortebat became the master's sons-in-law.
1632
Working for Cardinal Richelieu
Vouet worked for Cardinal Richelieu at the Palais-Royal and the Château de Malmaison.
