From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Bois du Monde: Les troubles du quartier Latin is a 1882 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a nighttime scene of a large crowd gathered in a city square. The group is densely packed, with some individuals appearing to be in motion. In the background, a large building with a dome and a row of street lamps are visible. The scene is rendered in dark, muted tones, with the only light coming from the street lamps and the windows of the building. The overall atmosphere is one of tension and unrest, with the crowd seeming to be on the verge of some kind of action.
