Auguste Lepère (1849–1918) was a French painter, engraver, and printmaker widely regarded as the reviver of French wood engraving in the late 19th century. His prints and illustrations, marked by expressive line and tonal richness, placed him at the centre of the artistic revival of printmaking that paralleled the Impressionist movement.
