1896
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Rouen Illustré: Eglise Saint Ouen is a 1896 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a large, detailed church with tall spires and pointed arches. People walk along a path in front of it, some carrying umbrellas. The church’s facade has a big circular window and lots of carvings. Trees and a fence line the path, and the sky looks cloudy. The artist focused on small, precise lines to show textures like stone and fabric. This style was common in late 19th-century French art.
