EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hotel de Ville de Bruxelles en feu, 1914" by Auguste Louis Lepere captures a haunting scene from the heart of Brussels during World War I. The Hotel de Ville, a symbol of the city's rich history and architectural grandeur, is engulfed in flames, creating an atmosphere of chaos and destruction. Lepere's skillful use of pen and black ink, along with black wash heightened with white accents, adds depth and intensity to this dramatic depiction. The contrast between the darkened sky and the illuminated fire creates a sense of urgency that draws viewers into the turmoil unfolding before their eyes. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the devastating impact war has on cities and its inhabitants. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness every crackling flame as it engulfs one of Brussels' most iconic landmarks. This image serves as a powerful reminder not only of the physical destruction caused by conflict but also of the resilience and strength exhibited by communities in times of crisis. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art as part of Heritage Art/Heritage Images collection, this print stands as a testament to Lepere's artistic talent while preserving an important moment in history for future generations to reflect upon.
