Sul dipinto
Louis Le Nain (ca. 1600-24 May 1648) was born in Laon and was taught there by a foreign artist, possibly Claude Vignon. He moved to Paris before 1629 with his brother Antoine (ca. 1600-26 May 1648) and Mathieu (ca. 1607- 26 April 1677) with whom he had always worked, settling in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. As they worked together, the attribution of their paintings is still problematic. They ran an important studio in Paris and enjoyed a great success as portrait and genres painters.
Leggi
This painting was recently firmly attributed to Louis Le Nain. It shows a family of peasants with a flat landscape and a low blue sky in the background in a particularly large format. Particularly notable is the monumentality of the figures and their sombre dignity that was unusual for the period, which appears to be a distinctive feature of the Le Nain, responsible for the introduction of genre painting in France during the second quarter of the 17th century.
