Title: | Le Christ Au Malin du Jour des Rameaux |
Artist: | Lepere, Auguste-Louis (Paris, 1849 - Domme, 1918) |
Date: | 1911 |
Medium: | Original Etching |
Note: | Auguste-Louis Lepere 'Auguste Lepere': A French painter and etcher of the first order, Auguste Lepere was also the undisputed leader in the creative revival of wood engraving in Europe. At age thirteen, Lepere began his artistic education in the Paris studio of the engraver, Smeeton. By the mid 1870's, Lepere had clearly emerged as one of the most renowned printmakers of his time. |
In both etching and wood engraving, Auguste-Louis Lepere became known as the prime delineator of daily life. Yet he was also a tireless experimenter with innovations such as combining etching and wood engraving on the same print. As well, he was one of the first artists to experiment with coloured papers and often had his own papers made. Such is the case with, Le Christ Au Malin du Jour des Rameaux, which bears Auguste Lepere's red monogramme seal. | |
From 1910 to 1913, Lepere devoted himself almost exclusively to etching. The etchings deal largely with landscapes, city views and Biblical themes and are generally larger than Lepere's earlier works of art. All these etchings were published in Paris in small, signed editions and are considered premier examples of Lepere's late style. In total his graphic oeuvre consists of over 150 etchings, over two hundred wood engravings and 14 lithographs. Auguste-Louis Lepere brilliant art is represented in most major international collections. | |
