From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Amiens Cathedral (Cathedrale d'Amiens - Jour d'inventaire) is a 1907 ink by Auguste Lepère, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a huge cathedral with lots of pointed towers and detailed carvings. The front has three big arched doors, and above them are rows of small statues. The bottom shows a crowd of people gathered outside, some looking up at the building. The artist focused on every tiny part of the cathedral’s stonework. This was made in 1907 using a printmaking method. Want to see how this was made? Look up etching.
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.
