1915
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Fishermen's Quarters (Saint-Jean-de-Monts) is a 1915 by Auguste Lepère, depicting Washing, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
You see a quiet scene of fishermen's homes in a small French town. The painting shows a simple, everyday life. It was created in 1915, which is interesting because it's a time when many artists were focusing on more modern styles. You can learn more about similar scenes by looking at the work of another artist, but for now, check out the technique of sfumato.
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.
