EDITORS COMMENTS
Fontainebleau Forest: Pulling the Heather (La Foret de Fontainebleau: Arracheurs de Bruyeres), 1890) captures a serene moment in the heart of nature. This wood engraving, published in Revue Illustree and now housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, showcases the talent of French artist Auguste Louis Lepère. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to the picturesque Fontainebleau Forest in France during the late 19th century. Lepère skillfully depicts a group of individuals delicately pulling heather from the forest floor. Their careful movements and focused expressions reveal their dedication to this age-old tradition. The composition is bathed in warm hues, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. Lepère's attention to detail is evident as he masterfully renders each leaf and branch, creating a lifelike representation that draws us into this idyllic woodland setting. This print is part of a bound volume containing 34 exquisite engravings by Lepère, showcasing his deep connection with the natural world. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we can appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has preserved this remarkable piece for future generations to admire and cherish. It serves as a testament to Lepère's contribution to French art history while reminding us of our enduring relationship with nature.
