1893
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Gobelin Quarter is a 1893 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a crowded cityscape with rooftops packed tight. Smoke rises from factories, and people walk along narrow streets. The buildings are simple, with slanted roofs and small windows. In the foreground, two figures sit on a ledge, looking down at the busy scene. The title *The Gobelin Quarter* hints this might be a working-class area. The artist used sharp lines and dark shading to show depth and texture. Next, look up Realism to see how artists like this one depicted everyday life.
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.
