L'Académie, 19th Century, Oil on Canvas, Framed

About This Piece

Large oil on canvas, representing "The Academy" very beautiful representation of the original painting in the Louvre Museum, anonymous author or the Le Nain brothers, that is the question?

"The Academy", an original oil on canvas, is one of the most debated paintings since Champfleury attributed it to the Le Nain brothers in 1875.
It was acquired by the Louvre Museum in 1892 as a 17th century Dutch work.
At the Le Nain exhibitions of 1934 and 1978, the attribution to the Le Nain brothers was disputed, as neither the workmanship nor the coloring matched the reliable works of the three brothers shown around it. The costumes are French, but the type of composition is Dutch, in the tradition of group portraiture.

A recent scientific analysis of the different layers of the painting shows that they are different from the usual processes of the Le Nain brothers. Indeed, the painting includes only one layer of grey preparation, where calcium carbonate predominates, whereas the signed paintings always benefit from two preparatory layers.
