White Roses and Cherries 1865

"White Roses and Cherries" (1865) by Henri Fantin-Latour is a classic still life painting featuring a vase of white roses, a silver goblet, and a cluster of red cherries. The artist's use of natural light and attention to detail give the objects a sense of three-dimensionality, while the muted background allows the flowers and fruit to take center stage. Fantin-Latour was known for his skillful portrayal of flowers and his ability to create a sense of tranquility in his work, making this piece a beautiful example of the Realist movement.
