Catalogue from the exhibition held in Forth Worth San Francisco and Lens France between May 2016 and June 2017. "The Brothers Le Nain: Painters of 17th-Century France is the first major exhibition in the United States devoted to the Le Nain brothers-Antoine ca. 1598-1648 Louis ca. 1600/1605-1648 and Mathieu ca. 1607-1677. The presentation features more than forty of the brothers' works to highlight the Le Nains' full artistic production. This comprehensive presentation and its almost five-hundred-page catalogue offer new scholarship concerning the authorship dating and meaning behind their art. As the works were not individually signed assigning a specific painting to a specific brother has long been a matter for debate. Extensive new research has been conducted to address questions of authorship through direct comparisons of key works from the brothers' oeuvre. Visitors will have the rare opportunity to compare these pieces side by side in the Legion of Honor's galleries. The exhibition also includes a substantial technical study from painting conservators at the Fine Arts Museums and the Kimbell detailing the materials and working methods of the brothers."
