The artwork, titled “Flowers,” was created by Henri Fantin-Latour in the year 1871 using the medium of oil on canvas. This piece belongs to the Realism art movement and falls under the genre of flower painting. Currently, the artwork is held in a private collection.
“Flowers” presents a simple yet elegant arrangement of white flowers, prominently featuring long, slender stems housed in a tall, clear vase. The flowers, likely a variety of narcissi, are depicted with meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing their delicate petals and subtle variations in color. The backdrop is dark, allowing the white hues of the flowers to stand out dramatically, showcasing Fantin-Latour’s mastery in capturing the inherent beauty and purity of floral subjects. The composition is both serene and refined, characteristic of the artist’s skill in still life painting.
