1886
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Un coin de l'Île de Billancourt is a 1886 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a quiet riverside scene. A lone fisherman sits in a small boat, bent over his line. Trees with bare branches lean over the water, and a few people walk along the shore. In the distance, buildings and a bridge stretch across the scene. The artist focused on everyday life, not grand drama. The loose brushwork and soft edges suggest a focus on light and atmosphere. Look up Impressionism to see how this style changed art.
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.
