L’aurore Et La Nuit 1894

Henri Fantin-Latour’s *L’aurore Et La Nuit* from 1894 depicts a symbolic scene of the meeting between dawn and night, with the ethereal figures of Aurora and Night. The painting is filled with the soft, hazy light of daybreak as it merges with the dusky shadows of twilight. Two putti, representing the transition between day and night, add a playful touch to the scene. Fantin-Latour’s signature symbolist style uses allegorical figures and muted colors to convey a sense of mystery and poetic beauty. The painting invites viewers to contemplate the cycle of time and the delicate balance between light and darkness.
