The artwork “Basket of Flowers” is an oil painting on canvas created by Henri Fantin-Latour in 1892. It belongs to the Realism art movement and is categorized within the genre of flower painting. This exquisite piece is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts an abundant and colorful array of flowers carefully arranged in a woven basket. The diversity of blossoms, rendered in rich, vibrant hues, contrasts beautifully with the dark, subtle background, highlighting each flower’s delicate texture and form. The painting also features a glass vase partially filled with water, adding a touch of transparency and dimension to the composition. The meticulous attention to detail and the exquisite rendering of light and shadow exemplify Fantin-Latour’s mastery in capturing the natural beauty of floral arrangements.
