1890
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Le Point du Jour is a 1890 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet French village at dawn. The sky glows soft pink over dark houses. A few chimneys puff out smoke. It feels early, still and cool. Lepère was an artist who loved printmaking. He made many views of everyday life. This one stands out for its calm light and simple shapes. Try looking up other works by Auguste Louis Lepère (French, 1849–1918).
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.
