L'Incendie de Louvain

Auguste Louis Lepère

Cleveland Museum of Art

The artwork depicts a dark scene with a monochromatic color scheme. A woman wearing a long dress stands prominently on the right side, her body turned away from the viewer. Her head is bent and her left arm extended upward. A figure lies on the ground to her left. In the background, a line of people can be seen. The sky appears dark with streaks suggestive of smoke or clouds. The buildings in the background show signs of destruction and fire.
