Jonquils and Nasturtiums 1881

"Jonquils and Nasturtiums", painted in 1881 by Henri Fantin-Latour, is a still life featuring a bouquet of roses in a dark background. The flowers, a mix of pink, white, and red, are depicted in a natural, almost impressionistic style, with loose brushstrokes capturing their texture and form. Fantin-Latour was known for his flower paintings, often featuring subtle variations in color and light, reflecting his affinity for the Pre-Raphaelite aesthetic. This artwork is a beautiful example of his talent for capturing the delicate beauty of nature.
