EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Le Debardeur: Quai de la Gare, 1894" transports us back to the bustling streets of late 19th century France. Created by the talented Auguste Louis Lepere, a renowned French artist from 1849 to 1918, this etching captures a moment frozen in time. The scene unfolds on the quay of a train station, where we find ourselves immersed in the daily life of Parisians during this era. The central figure is a dockworker or "le débardeur" as referred to in French. He stands tall and proud amidst his fellow workers, exuding strength and determination. His weathered face tells tales of hard work and resilience. Lepere's attention to detail is evident throughout the composition - from the intricate etchings that bring texture to each brick on the buildings lining the quay, to the delicate shading that adds depth and dimensionality to every figure present. As we gaze at this historical masterpiece housed within The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection, we are reminded of both our shared human experiences across time and our ability as art enthusiasts to connect with artists who have long since departed this world. This print serves as a testament not only to Lepere's artistic prowess but also as an invaluable piece of heritage art that allows us glimpses into past lives lived on these very streets.
