Description: | Signed: yes Description: Fantin-Latour's still lifes were highly popular, particularly in Britain. His first to be shown at the Salon was exhibited in 1866, around the same time that Fruit and Flowers was purchased. The same vase, basket and table appear in both paintings and the composition and technique are typical of Fantin-Latour's works from this period. The plain background and the simplicity of the arrangement give effect to the rich colours and the precision with which he depicted the main subject. His skilled brushwork mimics the texture of the fruit and the delicacy of the spring flowers. | Subjects: | still life (fruit; flowers) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Fantin-Latour, Henri (French painter and printmaker, 1836-1904) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9001... | Go to resource |
