EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fontainebleau Forest: Gatherine Lily-of-the-Valley" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century France. The image, captured by Auguste Louis Lepère in 1890, showcases the natural beauty of Fontainebleau Forest with its lush greenery and delicate flowers. In this particular scene, we witness a serene moment known as "La Cueillette du Muguet" or the gathering of lily-of-the-valley. A group of women can be seen delicately picking these fragrant blossoms, their baskets gradually filling up with nature's treasures. Lepère's wood engraving technique adds depth and texture to the artwork, enhancing our visual experience. The bound volume from which this print originates is a testament to French heritage and artistic excellence. Published in Revue Illustree, it serves as a window into the cultural significance placed on nature during that era. This piece not only celebrates the beauty found within Fontainebleau Forest but also pays homage to traditional practices such as flower gathering. Now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this exquisite print invites us to immerse ourselves in an idyllic moment where time seems suspended amidst nature's wonders. It reminds us of the timeless allure that art holds - transporting us through history while capturing fleeting moments forever etched in our collective memory.
