Vase of Peonies 1881

Henri Fantin-Latour's "Vase of Peonies" (1881) is a classic example of a still life. It features a lush bouquet of pink peonies arranged in a vase, set against a muted brown background. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the delicate brushstrokes that capture the texture and form of the flowers. The painting's soft color palette and overall sense of tranquility evoke a sense of peace and beauty, making it a beloved example of the Realist movement.
