EDITORS COMMENTS
Chestnut Trees above a River" is a captivating artwork by the renowned French artist, Auguste Lepère, created around the turn of the 20th century. This beautiful piece, executed in pastel over watercolor and gouache on paperboard, showcases Lepère's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of nature and the passage of time. The painting depicts a serene and idyllic scene of chestnut trees lining the banks of a meandering river. The trees, with their vibrant, golden-brown autumn leaves, stand tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear, blue sky. The river, shimmering in the sunlight, reflects the trees and the clouds above, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the tranquility of the scene. Lepère's use of color and technique is masterful. The gouache adds depth and texture to the trees and the water, while the pastel brings to life the delicate details of the leaves and the subtle variations in color. The watercolor adds a sense of fluidity and movement to the river, making it seem as if it is gently flowing before our eyes. This artwork is a testament to the beauty of the natural world and the ability of art to capture and preserve it for future generations. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists in the art of the 19th and early 20th centuries and the enduring appeal of the landscape genre. "Chestnut Trees above a River" is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the natural world, the beauty of France, or the works of Auguste Lepère. It can be found in many prestigious art centers and galleries, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
