EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print, titled "Fontainebleau Forest: Woodcutters Meal" transports us to the serene beauty of nature in 19th-century France. Created by Auguste Louis Lepere, a renowned French artist from 1849 to 1918, this artwork captures a moment of respite for woodcutters amidst their laborious work. The scene depicts a group of woodcutters gathered around a makeshift table in the heart of Fontainebleau Forest. Their tired faces reflect both exhaustion and contentment as they enjoy a simple meal together. The intricate details in Lepere's wood engraving bring life to every element - from the texture of the trees' bark to the folds in each person's clothing. Published in Revue Illustree between 1887 and 1890, this particular print is part of a bound volume containing 34 similar works by various artists. Its modest size allows for an intimate viewing experience that draws you into the tranquil forest setting. Lepere's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to this composition, emphasizing the contrast between sunlight filtering through tree branches and darker areas where foliage blocks its path. This interplay creates an enchanting atmosphere that invites viewers to immerse themselves fully into this idyllic woodland scene. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a collection, "Fontainebleau Forest: Woodcutters Meal" serves as an exquisite reminder of humanity's connection with nature
