1914
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Mitrailleurs anglais is a 1914 by Auguste Lepère, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a group of English machine gunners in a landscape setting. The scene is depicted in a sketchy, black-and-white style, with bold lines and minimal shading. The machine gunners are positioned in a defensive posture, with their guns at the ready. The painting's focus on the machine gunners and their equipment suggests a sense of tension and urgency. The sketchy style of the painting adds to the sense of immediacy, as if the scene is being captured in the midst of action. The Cleveland Museum of Art is a great place to learn more about this painting and its artist, Auguste Louis Lepère.
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.
