Coin de la Rue Royale is a 1890 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a bustling street scene in Paris. People in 19th-century clothing are walking or standing on the sidewalk, while horse-drawn carriages and carts pass by on the street. The buildings in the background are tall and ornate, with columns and balconies. In the foreground, a large sign or billboard stands out, but its details are not clear. The overall atmosphere is one of activity and energy, with people going about their daily business. The painting's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene. To learn more about this style of painting, look into the Impressionism movement.
Louis-Auguste Lepère (30 November 1849 – 20 November 1918) was a French painter and etcher. Lepère is also considered a leader in the creative revival of wood engraving in Europe.
