1890
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Montagne Ste. Genevieve is a 1890 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet riverside scene at dusk. On the right, a stone bridge curves over the water, with people walking along its edge. Below, a few small boats float near the shore, and a fisherman sits on the riverbank with a rod. In the distance, a big dome and spires rise over a hill, with trees and buildings scattered around them. Notice how the artist uses soft, blended lines to show light fading over the water and buildings. The mood feels calm, almost like a dreamy moment frozen in time. If you like this style, look up Impressionism next.
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.
