1912
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Angers - Panoramic View (Angers - Vue panoramique) is a 1912 ink by Auguste Lepère, held at National Gallery of Art.
This drawing shows a town built along a river, with a stone bridge carrying people and horses. The buildings are packed close together, some with pointed roofs, and a church tower rises in the background. Trees line the riverbank, and small boats float on the water near the shore. The artist used fine lines to show light and shadow, making the scene look almost three-dimensional. The bridge looks sturdy, with arches holding up the roadway. If you like this style, look up etching next to see how artists create detailed prints.
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.
