200 Henri Fantin-Latour Paintings

Henri Fantin-Latour was a French painter and lithographer best known for his flower paintings and group portraits of Parisian artists and writers. He was born Ignace Henri Jean Thodore Fantin-Latour in Grenoble, Isre. As a youth, he received drawing lessons from his father, who was an artist. In 1850 he entered the Ecole de Dessin, where he studied with Lecoq de Boisbaudran. After studying at the cole des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1854, he devoted much time to copying the works of the old masters in the Muse du Louvre. Although Fantin-Latour befriended several of the young artists who would later be associated with Impressionism, including Whistler and Manet, Fantin's own work remained conservative in style. Whistler brought attention to Fantin in England, where his still-lifes sold so well that they were "practically unknown in France during his lifetime". In addition to his realistic paintings, Fantin-Latour created imaginative lithographs inspired by the music of some of the great classical composers. In 1875, Henri Fantin-Latour married a fellow painter, Victoria Dubourg, after which he spent his summers on the country estate of his wife's family at Bur, Orne in Lower Normandy, where he died on 25 August 1904. He was interred in the Cimetire du Montparnasse, Paris, France - This package comprises over 200 paintings with varying dimensions.
