They are celebrated for their depictions of middle-class leisure activities, and particularly for their representations of peasant families, who gaze out at the viewer. The uncompromising naturalism of these compositions, along with their oddly suspended action, imparts a sense of dignity to their subjects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Featuring more than sixty paintings highlighting the artists' full range of production, including altarpieces, private devotional paintings, portraits, and the poignant images of peasants for which the brothers are best known, this generously illustrated volume presents new research concerning the authorship, dating, and meaning of the works by well-known scholars in the field. Also groundbreaking are the results of a technical study of the paintings, which constitutes a major contribution to the scholarship on the Le Nain brothers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in association with the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKimbell Art Museum\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (05\/22\/16-09\/11\/16)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ede Young Museum, San Francisco\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (10\/08\/16-01\/29\/17)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMus馥 du Louvre-Lens \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e (03\/22\/2017-06\/26\/2017)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e C.
