1895
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Shrimp Fishermen is a 1895 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The image depicts a scene of two men engaged in shrimp fishing, with one standing and the other sitting on a boat. The man standing is holding a long pole, while the seated man appears to be handling a net. In the background, there are several boats and people in the water. The scene is rendered in a style that blends elements of Impressionism and Realism, with an emphasis on capturing the everyday activities of working-class individuals. The use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the image. For further exploration, consider looking into the work of artist Auguste Louis Lepère, who created this piece in 1895.
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.
