EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Fontainebleau Forest: Woodcutters Meal" we are transported back to the enchanting 19th century. The image, created by French artist Auguste Louis Lepère in 1890, captures a serene moment amidst the lush greenery of Fontainebleau Forest. The scene depicts a group of woodcutters taking a well-deserved break from their laborious work. Gathered around a makeshift table in the heart of nature, they enjoy a simple meal together. Their tired faces reflect both exhaustion and contentment as they savor their food and share stories of their day's endeavors. Lepère's masterful wood engraving technique brings out every intricate detail of the forest landscape, showcasing his deep appreciation for nature's beauty. The play of light filtering through the trees creates an ethereal atmosphere that transports us into this idyllic woodland setting. This particular print is part of a bound volume published in Revue Illustree, highlighting Lepère's talent as one of France's renowned artists during that era. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, it serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage embedded within French art history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded not only of the hard work and resilience displayed by these woodcutters but also how moments like these can bring solace and camaraderie even amidst life's challenges.
