From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Sunrise, Woods of Clamard (Lever du soleil, bois de Clamard) is a 1874 ink by Alphonse Legros, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting shows a quiet forest scene at sunrise. The trees are dark and the sun is shining through. This work is interesting because it was made using drypoint, a technique that involves scratching a design into a plate. The artist used this method to create a sense of depth and texture, which adds to the overall mood of the piece, similar to the work of artist: Legros, Alphonse
Alphonse Legros (French pronunciation: ; 8 May 1837 – 8 December 1911) was a French, later British, painter, etcher, sculptor, and medallist.
