La rue de l'Ecole à Troyes is a 1902 by Gustave Leheutre, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a narrow street in Troyes, with a few buildings lining the street. The street is empty, with no people or vehicles visible. The buildings are rendered in a range of grays, with some darker shadows and lighter highlights. The overall effect is one of quietness and stillness. The artist has used a range of techniques to create a sense of depth and texture in the painting. The brushstrokes are visible, and the paint is applied thickly in some areas, giving the painting a tactile quality. The use of chiaroscuro, with strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the sense of depth and volume in the painting. The painting is held at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
