Vase of Roses 1872

Henri Fantin-Latour's "Vase of Roses" (1872) is a prime example of the artist's signature style. It displays a refined focus on a simple motif, with delicate white roses gracefully arranged in a clear glass vase. The composition, set against a rich, dark background, showcases Fantin-Latour's meticulous brushwork and mastery of light, highlighting the subtle textures of the flowers and the transparency of the glass. The artwork's quiet elegance reflects the Realist movement's emphasis on everyday subjects and naturalism.
