EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Scene nocturne; patrouille a la lisiere dun bois, 1914" transports us to the heart of a mysterious night scene. Created by the renowned French artist Auguste Louis Lepère in 1914, this drawing captures the essence of a nocturnal patrol on the edge of a forest. Lepère's masterful use of black crayon and brush combined with black ink creates an atmosphere shrouded in darkness, adding to the intrigue and tension depicted in this artwork. The artist skillfully employs white gouache to highlight certain elements, allowing them to emerge from the shadows with an ethereal glow. The scene itself is filled with anticipation as we witness soldiers silently navigating through dense foliage under cover of night. Their silhouettes are subtly illuminated by moonlight filtering through the trees, casting long shadows that heighten our sense of drama and suspense. As we gaze upon this evocative piece, we are transported back in time to France during World War I. Lepère's attention to detail and his ability to capture both movement and stillness make this artwork truly mesmerizing. Now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art as part of their esteemed collection, this print from Heritage Art/Heritage Images allows us to appreciate Lepère's artistic prowess while also serving as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict.
