The smithy (blacksmith in his workshop)
Louis Le Nain (* circa 1593/1603? in Laon, † 23rd May 1648 [1] in Paris) was a French painter of the 17th century who can be attributed to baroque realism. He lived and worked in Paris from 1629, where he founded a flourishing workshop together with his brothers Antoine Le Nain († 1648) and Mathieu Le Nain († 1677) in Rue Princesse.
he three brothers Antoine Le Nain (c.1599-1648), Louis Le Nain (c.1593-1648), and Mathieu Le Nain (1607–1677) T were painters in 17th-century France. They produced genre works, portraits and portrait miniatures.
Lives and work
The brothers were born in or near Laon in northern France. Mathieu was born in 1607; Antoine and Louis were originally believed to have been born in 1588 and 1593, respectively, but are now thought to have been born later; the National Gallery gives them birth dates of "c. 1600? and c. 1603?". By 1630, all three lived in Paris, where they shared the studio founded by Antoine, who was admitted to the Paris painters' guild, enabling his two brothers to train under him without paying fees. Within a few years they were receiving important commissions, Antoine painting a group portrait of the aldermen of Paris in 1632. In 1648 the three brothers were received into the Académie de peinture et de sculpture on the year of its founding.[2]
