Description:
- Color print of Flowers and Fruits. Henry de Fantin-Latour.
- The artist, Henry de Fantin-Latour (1836-1904), was a French painter. He trained with his father. He associated with the most important artists of the time, including Manet, with whom he was friends, although he remained outside the Impressionist movement, practicing a kind of lyrical realism. He painted female portraits, group portraits, musical themes, and above all, still lifes of flowers. It achieved enormous commercial success, but this limited his production, something he himself lamented.
- The painting, a famous still life painted in 1866, is a realistic depiction of a delicate bouquet of flowers in a vase accompanied by various pieces of fruit. It stands out for its use of neutral backgrounds, soft lighting, and masterful rendering of textures and details.
- The print is on semi-rigid glossy cardstock.
