Born in Paris, he received his first training from his father the painter Laurent Vouet. After a journey to England and Turkey he was in Italy from 1612 to 1627, where he was influenced in a first stage by Caravaggism, but soon, through the model of the Carraccis, he changed his painting for a lighter palette and a more harmonious sense of composition. On returning to France, he became the most outstanding painter of the court of Louis XIII, exerting a great influence over the artists of the next generation.
