Henri Fantin-Latour

1836–1904, France (Grenoble, Paris), Realism

Fantin-Latour was a friend of Manet, Whistler and the Impressionists but stayed true to his own quiet style. He became famous for flower still lifes, much sought after in England, and for calm portraits. A passionate music lover, he made dreamlike lithographs inspired by operas by Wagner, Berlioz and Schumann.
