The Brothers Le Nain: Painters of Seventeenth-Century France is the first major exhibition in the United States devoted to the Le Nain brothers, Antoine, Louis, and Mathieu, who were active in Paris during the 1630s and 1640s. Little is known of their lives, and the attribution of their paintings to the hands of the individual brothers has been hotly debated. The exhibition will debut new research concerning the authorship, dating, and meaning of their works and will be on view in the Museum's Renzo Piano Pavilion.

The Brothers Le Nain: Painters of Seventeenth-Century France finally gives art lovers in the United States the opportunity to appreciate the Le Nains in all their complexity. A collaboration between Fort Worth and San Francisco grew and developed from the initial idea of focusing on examples of the Le Nains' work in the United States. The Kimbell is the first in more than a generation to explore these wonderful painters and to manage to bring together, due to the generosity of collectors and museums across the United States and Europe, some of their greatest achievements.
