This site is run by Kevin J. Kelly and is devoted to covering all of Le Brun's work, including much of the 1780s and some non-portraits. Kevin and I are mutually interested in Le Brun, so you will find both of us share our scans of images. Some photoshoping tends to occurs and our commentary differs due to our different focuses.

Warning: Because of the high number of color images at this site, some links take a long time to load; be patient!
