1889
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
La Terrasse des Arts Libéraux is a 1889 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a quiet park scene with people sitting on benches and walking around. Palm trees line a path, and a fountain sits in the middle. In the foreground, one man sits alone, reading or resting. The background has buildings and a dome, with a few clouds in the sky. The artist used quick, sketchy lines to capture movement and light. This style was common in late 19th-century France. Look up Impressionism next to see how artists like this one played with light and 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.
