1896
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Rouen Illustré: Le Palais du Justice is a 1896 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows a long, fancy building with tall, spiky roofs and lots of detailed windows. People in old-fashioned clothes walk and stand around in front of it, some sitting on benches. The architecture looks very ornate, with pointed arches and carvings on the walls. The building is the Palais de Justice in Rouen, a city in France. The artist used sharp lines to show every brick and shadow, making the scene feel very real. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
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.
