EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Rouen Illustre: La Gros Horloge, 1888" takes us back in time to the enchanting streets of Rouen, France. The creator of this masterpiece is none other than Auguste Louis Lepere, a renowned French artist who lived from 1849 to 1918. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the magnificent Gros Horloge, a stunning astronomical clock that has been an iconic symbol of Rouen for centuries. Lepere's wood engraving technique beautifully captures the intricate details and architectural grandeur of this historical landmark. As we gaze at this print, we are transported to a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages traversed cobblestone streets and elegantly dressed pedestrians strolled along. The atmosphere exudes a sense of nostalgia and romance. Lepere's artistic prowess shines through as he expertly plays with light and shadow, creating depth and texture within each stroke. His attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the composition - from the delicate foliage adorning nearby buildings to the ornate ironwork embellishing balconies. Displayed proudly at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this wood engraving serves as a testament to both Lepere's talent as an artist and his love for capturing moments frozen in time. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty found within one city but also serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage. Heritage Images has preserved this remarkable
