About the piece

Painted in 1892, Stanislas Lépine’s ‘A Quarry at Caen’ explores the interplay between construction and the urban landscape. The work features a series of massive stone blocks in the foreground, rendered with a delicate palette of ochre and cream that harmonizes with the soft gray sky characteristic of the French Impressionist tradition.
