Limbourg brothers: or Limburg brothers flourished 1400-1416 Flemish illuminators. Sons of a sculptor, the three brothers Pol, Herman, and Jehanequin de Limbourg learned the goldsmith's art in Paris and entered the service of the duke de Berry, for whom they produced one of the most famous of all illuminated manuscripts, a book of hours (private prayer book) known as the Très riches heures du duc de Berry ( 1410-16). Since the brothers worked together, it is difficult to distinguish individual styles. They synthesized the achievements of their contemporaries into a style characterized by tall, aristocratic figures with lavish, curvilinear draperies and by highly naturalistic seasonal landscapes and scenes of peasant life. Their art did much to determine the course of early Netherlandish art. Their deaths in the same year suggest that they died of plague
Marx Brothers: a US family of actors known for their crazy humour and jokes. Together, they made many humorous films, which are still very popular.

Groucho, who was the most famous, had glasses, a large moustache, and a strange way of walking, and he always carried a thick cigar. The Marx Brothers' films include Horse Feathers (1932), Duck Soup (1933), and A Night at the Opera (1935). U.S. comedy team. The original five brothers were Chico (orig.

They formed a vaudeville act with their mother, Minnie, called "The Six Musical Mascots" (1904-18). Gummo left the act early on, and the brothers later became "The Four Marx Brothers." They won fame with their first Broadway play, I'll Say She Is (1924), which was followed by The Cocoanuts (1925; film, 1929) and Animal Crackers (1926; film, 1930). They later starred in Monkey Business (1931), Horse Feathers (1932), Duck Soup (1933), A Night at the Opera (1935), and Room Service (1938), among other films, developing a skillful blend of visual and verbal humour, with Groucho supplying wisecracks and a running commentary as counterpoint to the frantic, anarchic activities of the silent Harpo and the Italian-accented Chico. Zeppo left the act in 1934, and the act disbanded in 1949. Groucho later hosted the television quiz program You Bet Your Life (1950-61)

They acquired smaller circuses from 1900, and in 1907 they bought the Barnum & Bailey Circus, thus becoming the leading U.S. circus. The guiding managers were Charles Ringling (1863-1926) and later John Ringling (1866-1936), whose acquisition of American Circus Corp. in 1929 brought 11 major circuses under Ringling control.

After Sam's death, Lee and Jacob built theatres across the U.S. and came to own more than 60 legitimate houses and many vaudeville and movie theatres. They produced more than 1,000 different shows, including 600 plays, revues, and musicals. Theatrical unions such as Actors' Equity were formed in response to their often sharp business practices. Charged with monopoly practices in 1950, they sold a number of theatres in 1956 but retained prestigious houses in many cities
