Henri Fantin-Latour

Fruit, flowers, and quiet tabletop arrangements dominate this body of work, rendered with the close observation of a trained botanical illustrator. Grapes, chrysanthemums, roses, and peaches appear against plain backgrounds in soft, muted color, as in "Three Peaches on a Plate", reflecting French Realism's attention to ordinary objects alongside a Symbolist stillness.
