1890
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Le Louvre, vu du Pont Neuf is a 1890 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a river with a bridge carrying people across. On the left, a tree stands over a path where a few figures walk. A boat floats in the middle of the water, and on the right, two people stand near the riverbank, one looking out. In the background, a large building with towers and columns sits on a hill. The artist focused on everyday life near a famous Paris landmark. The way light and shadow play across the scene gives it depth. Look up Realism next to see how artists showed ordinary moments like this.
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.
