Une Chasse au Mont Gérard is a 1887 by Auguste Lepère, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a scene of horseback riders in a wooded area, with the riders and horses positioned in the foreground. The riders are dressed in dark attire, while the horses are depicted in various shades of brown. In the background, a group of people can be seen standing near a body of water, with trees and branches surrounding them. A notable detail in the painting is the use of dark colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere. The artist's use of shading and texture adds depth to the scene, drawing the viewer's eye into the composition. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists associated with the Impressionism movement.
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.
