France
Louis Le Nain was a French painter, one of the three Le Nain brothers. A master of group portraits of peasant life.
Together with Antoine and Mathieu, Louis worked on the decoration of the famous Chapel of the Virgin Mary in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. In 1648, he became one of the first members of the newly created Royal Sculpture Society.
The brothers did not always sign their works, and to this day such works without authorship are difficult to attribute personally to any of them.
