Tournier, Nicolas
Tournier, Nicolas (
bapt. Montbéliard, Franche-Comté, 12 July 1590;
d Toulouse, Dec. 1638/Feb. 1639). French painter. Very little is known of his life and most of the attributions to him are speculative, but he seems to have been—with the exception of Georges de
La Tour—the most individual and sensitive of French
Caravaggesque painters. He was in Rome
c.1619–26, then is recorded in Carcassonne in 1627 and in Toulouse from 1632. The works attributed to him in his Roman period are
genre scenes of music making, dice playing, etc. (
A Musical Party, City Art Mus., St Louis), but after he returned to France he concentrated on religious pictures. There are examples in the Louvre, Paris, and in the Musée des Augustins, Toulouse, including a huge, badly damaged
Battle of Constantine influenced by
Piero della Francesca's treatment of the subject at Arezzo—this at a time when Piero was virtually forgotten. More typical of Tournier's paintings in the museum at Toulouse are the
Lamentation and the
Entombment, which show the grace and refinement of his style.
