The Layer family had been involved in painting for several generations, his grandfather Josip was also a painter, and his younger brothers Valentin and Anton, also painters, helped Leopold in running the family painting workshop. After Leopold\u2019s death on 12 April 1828, the painting craft was continued in the house by his stepson Jo\u017eef Egartner, followed by his son Jo\u017eef Jr. Layer\u2019s oeuvre is extremely extensive. He was a skilful painter, especially of folk art, and in the 19th century almost every house in Kranj could boast a painting by him. His most famous work is the graceful image of Our Lady Help of Christians, which is on display in the church at Brezje. In 1809, Kranj was occupied by the French, who declared the province of Illyria. Due to the general shortage, the talented Layers began to counterfeit money. They did this in the technique of Perisba, and they falsified paper Austria&#8217;s banknotes of 10 and 50 goldinars. 28. On 28 June 1810, the authorities discovered the forgeries and imprisoned the brothers Valentin and Leopold, his wife and a maid. Valentin died in the city prison (located at Pungert), but Leopold was released in 1813. As a sign of penance, he was commissioned to paint the chapel at Brezje.<\/p>\n<p><em>Painting: Leopold Layer: Finding Moses.
