1914
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
L'Allemagne feedale is a 1914 by Auguste Lepère, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows two towering castles with spires and flags, drawn in bold black lines against a light background. The buildings loom over a village with simple, low-roofed houses. Trees with jagged branches frame the scene, and the whole image feels dramatic and uneven, like a sketch made in haste. The title, *L'Allemagne fedale*, hints at a political or national theme—likely tied to the artist’s views on Germany at the time. The stark contrast between the dark castles and light sky makes the towers feel heavy and imposing. Next, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
