L’Aurore 1901

Henri Fantin-Latour’s 1901 painting *L’Aurore* depicts the goddess Aurora, the personification of dawn, in a delicate and ethereal style. She sits partially draped in a red gown while a cherub kneels before her, creating a harmonious and romantic scene. The soft brushstrokes and muted color palette contribute to the dreamlike ambiance of the piece, capturing the gentle beauty of the approaching day. The work embodies Fantin-Latour’s masterful depiction of the female figure in a mystical and poetic setting.
