      <div>
        <h1 class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904)</h1>
      </div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_SelfPortrait.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Self-Portrait, 1859</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Realist painter Henri Fantin-Latour is best known for his beautiful still life flower paintings, as well as group paintings of himself with other artists and historical figures. Latour was also heavily involved in lithography and painted in a highly traditional style, and painted nearly 25 self-portraits. It is said that Latour’s own Realist style was a major influence on the symbolist movement for future painters.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_TheReader1861.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Reader, 1861</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Born in Grenoble, France near the Alps, Latour was taught how to draw at a young age by his artist father. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and painted in an Impressionistic style in the beginning of his career. During this time, he would often visit the Louvre to study and copy the paintings of the old masters. There, he would meet and become friends with other famous artists like Manet and Degas.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_PortraitofManet1867.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of Manet, 1867</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Sadly, Latour did not get the initial recognition in Paris that he has today, probably because he was painting in the old style while his contemporaries were experimenting and creating new styles. However, Latour would eventually gain notoriety in England through American painter Whistler. With Whistler and artist Alphonse Legros, Latour formed the Societe des Trois, and would have his first exhibition with them at the Salon in Paris in 1861.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_MrMrsEdwards1875.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, 1875</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Besides painting, Latour was also fascinated with music. This fascination can be seen in his lithographs which express his love for his favorite composers, Wagner, Schumann and Brahms.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_EauFortelithograph.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Eau Forte, lithograph</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_Awakening1887.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Awakening, 1887, lithograph</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_ManfredandAstarte1879.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Manfred and Astarte, 1879</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Latour would eventually meet and marry fellow painter Victoria Dubourg, whom he would instruct and essentially paint alongside.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_DubourgFamily1878.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Dubourg Family, 1878<br>
          
        Dubourg focused mainly on floral still life, and her style would often mirror Latour’s.</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_BasketofFlowersandBouquetofRoses.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Basket of Flowers and Bouquet of Roses</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_NatureMorteAuxFiancailles.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Nature Morte Aux Fiancailles</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_StillLifewithFlowers.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Still Life with Flowers</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">When Latour was not creating floral still life and lithography, he would typically paint historical scenes dedicated to his artistic heroes. Latour would immortalize his favorite painters, particularly Delacroix and Rubens in a number of Realist paintings, many of which now hang in the Louvre.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_HomagetoDelacroix1864.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Homage to Delacroix, 1864</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_PortraitwithFriends.jpg" alt="art" width="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait with Friends, 1879</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1879, Latour was given the Legion of Honor medal, and is remembered today as a great master of Realist painting in a time when Realism was going out of fashion. Latour’s paintings were so real at times, that they are practically photographic, and at other times contained a mystical property that only Latour could have created.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_QueenoftheNight.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">The Queen of the Night</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_Naiade1896.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Naiade, 1896</div>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_Andromeda.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Andromeda</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Despite the fact that Latour met only relative success and recognition during his lifetime as a painter, today his paintings and lithography are in high demand. A new Latour art authentication, though probably rare, could fetch millions of dollars at auction today.</p>
      <p  class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/artists_a-k/fantin-latour/Fantin-Latour_ParsifaletlesFillesFleurs.jpg" alt="art" width="auto" height="auto"></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Parsifal et les Filles-Fleurs, 1893</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Latour left behind a number of drawings, etchings and oil paintings, in a number of different styles from Realist portraits to mythological sketches and floral still life’s. Sometimes he would sign his work “Fantin” although he is typically known as “Latour” or “Fantin-Latour.” Still not sure if one of your treasured family heirlooms is a Latour? <a href="https://www.artexpertswebsite.com/contact/contact1.php">Contact us</a> to find out.</p>
