Mathieu, born in 1607, while Antoine and Louis, originally thought to have been born somewhere between 1588 and 1593, have later been given birthdates of 1600 and 1603 by the national gallery. Originally working much on religious imagery work, the brother shifted interest to genre and peasant subject matter at the turn of the 1640’s. Their work now graces the walls of the French National Gallery as well as the Louvre. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"gallery elder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43140411457670,"sku":null,"price":3495.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0548\/8702\/2726\/files\/8E219428-4E46-4327-A598-492148810946.jpg?v=1772032517"}],"url":"https:\/\/galleryelder.com\/collections\/sold-archive.oembed?page=5","provider":"gallery elder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
