Laurent de La Hyre was a French Baroque painter who was born in Paris in 1606. He was a prominent figure in the French art scene of the 17th century and was known for his religious and mythological paintings, as well as his portraits and landscapes.

He was a member of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture and was highly regarded by his contemporaries. Some of his most famous works include "Allegory of Music" and "Allegory of Astronomy", as well as religious paintings such as "Saint Paul Shipwrecked in Malta" and "Saint Peter Healing the Sick with His Shadow". Laurent de La Hyre died in 1656, leaving behind a legacy of beautiful and influential paintings that are still admired and studied today.
