Une chasse à Courre au Mont Gerard
1887
"Une chasse à Courre au Mont Gerard" is a wood engraving by Auguste Louis Lepère depicting a traditional French hunting scene with mounted riders pursuing game across a mountainous landscape. Lepère's meticulous technique showcases the characteristic fine lines and tonal gradations possible in wood engraving, capturing both the dynamic movement of the hunt and the detailed natural environment. The composition exemplifies the 19th century revival of wood engraving as a fine art medium, elevating what had traditionally been a reproductive technique to a subject worthy of artistic acclaim.
