Bouquet of Peonies and Iris 1884

Henri Fantin-Latour's "Bouquet of Peonies and Iris" (1884) is a stunning still life depicting a vibrant arrangement of pink peonies, purple irises, and yellow crocuses. The flowers are delicately rendered with subtle brushstrokes, creating a sense of life and movement. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the flowers arranged in a graceful, cascading form. The rich, earthy background adds depth and richness to the work, complementing the delicate beauty of the floral subjects. Fantin-Latour was known for his elegant and refined still lifes, and this work is a prime example of his mastery of the genre.
