“Mixed Flowers” is an exemplary work created by Henri Fantin-Latour in 1887. The artwork, executed in oil on canvas, belongs to the Realism art movement and is classified within the genre of flower painting. This piece currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene arrangement of various flowers, meticulously presented in a glass vase. Dominant among the bouquet are vibrant roses, carnations, and several other blossoms, each rendered with remarkable attention to detail and texture. The background is subdued, allowing the flowers to become the focal point, their colors and forms beautifully contrasting the muted tones behind them. The composition exudes a timeless elegance, a testament to Fantin-Latour’s mastery in capturing the delicate beauty of natural subjects.
