![Victor Dubreuil - Barrels of Money [c.1897]](http://c5.staticflickr.com/8/7054/27351082252_dff687ed37_b.jpg)
Victor Dubreuil (c. 1840 - after 1908) remains a puzzling painter. Although his works are well known and included in prominent private and museum collections across the United States, his life has remained mystery. Known mainly for depictions of money (frequently painted in a trompe l’oeil fashion) Dubreuil’s imagery is dense; the lack of pertinent biographical information has hampered the understanding of his career and the accurate dating of his paintings.
