1914
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Constantinople is a 1914 by Auguste Lepère, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting is a triptych, featuring three panels that showcase a man in different poses. The man is dressed in dark attire and is depicted sitting on a rooftop, with a cityscape in the background. The left and right panels show the man from a similar angle, while the middle panel is a sketch of the man from a different perspective. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, with the contrast between light and dark adding to the overall mood of the piece. The cityscape in the background adds a sense of context and setting to the painting. The Cleveland Museum of Art is home to this painting, which is a great example of the artist's use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and dimensionality.
