White Roses in a Green Vase 1871

Henri Fantin-Latour's "White Roses in a Green Vase" (1871) is a striking still life that exemplifies the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The painting captures a simple arrangement of white roses in a dark green vase, set against a muted background. The artist's use of subtle brushstrokes and muted colors create a sense of tranquility and naturalism, highlighting the delicate beauty of the flowers and their reflective surfaces. This work is typical of Fantin-Latour's style, which often showcased floral arrangements with an emphasis on their form and texture.
