Vase of Flowers 1877

Henri Fantin-Latour's "Vase of Flowers" (1877) showcases the artist's mastery of still life painting. The composition features a vibrant bouquet of various flowers, including roses, carnations, and gladiolus, arranged in a simple vase against a dark background. The delicate brushstrokes and subtle color variations bring a sense of life and realism to the floral arrangement, capturing the fleeting beauty of nature. Fantin-Latour's still life paintings were admired for their attention to detail and harmonious balance, often reflecting the artistic ideals of Realism and Impressionism.
