1915
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Old Footbridge is a 1915 by Auguste Lepère, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a quiet park scene. A small footbridge crosses a pond, where two people sit on the bank. Trees line the path, and sheep graze near a fence. In the distance, a building with a pointed roof stands behind the trees. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the scene feel calm. The print looks like it was made with an etching tool, pressing into a metal plate. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print 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.
