EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fontainebleau Forest: Ride to the Hounds at Mont-Gerard" takes us back to the enchanting 19th century. The image, captured by French artist Auguste Louis Lepère in 1890, showcases a thrilling hunt taking place amidst the picturesque Fontainebleau Forest. As we gaze upon this wood engraving from a bound volume of 34 prints, we are transported into a world where nature and tradition intertwine harmoniously. The scene depicts horse riders elegantly galloping through the forest, accompanied by their loyal hounds. The energy and excitement of the chase can almost be felt through Lepère's masterful use of lines and shading. The composition is beautifully balanced, with tall trees framing the action while allowing glimpses of sunlight to filter through. It is evident that Lepère had an intimate knowledge of both his subject matter and artistic technique, as he expertly captures every detail - from the texture of horses' manes to the determination in their riders' faces. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into France's rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of centuries-old traditions that have shaped our understanding and appreciation for equestrian pursuits. Preserved within this piece is not just an artwork but also a testament to our connection with nature and history. Displayed proudly in The Cleveland Museum of Art, this remarkable print by Auguste Louis Lepère continues to
