Summer Flowers 1880

"Summer Flowers" (1880) by Henri Fantin-Latour, is a classic example of a still life painting. The painting showcases the artist's keen eye for detail, depicting a lush bouquet of flowers arranged in a vase with great precision. The composition of the painting is balanced and harmonious, with the flowers arranged in a way that creates a sense of movement and depth. The muted colors of the flowers and vase contrast against the warm brown background, creating a sense of warmth and tranquility. The artist's signature can be seen in the top right corner, along with the date. Fantin-Latour was a leading figure in the Realist movement in France, and his still lifes are notable for their meticulous observation of nature.
