Video about Charles Le Brun's Everhard Jabach and His Family. In 2014 Jayne Wrightsman stepped forward to help The Met acquire an extraordinary masterpiece—a great painting, at a great price. Former Director Thomas Campbell describes how this keystone of French 17th-century painting was acquired; Curator Keith Christiansen interprets its details; and Conservator Michael Gallagher explains how it was conserved. Today, the painting anchors the Museum's 17th-century European painting collection.
