What this episode covers
Special thanks to the San Francisco Legion of Honor fine art museum for this episode. This week we'll explore the world of the Le Nain brothers, expert painters of the 17th century. Though they produced magnificent history paintings and society portraits, they're best known for their depictions of peasant life. But are those really peasants in their paintings...or members of a mysterious secret society? SHOW NOTES: http://www.thelandofdesire.com/2017/01/05/le-nain/
