Fantin-Latour, Ignace Henri Jean Théodore
Born Jan. 14, 1836, in Grenoble; died Aug. 25, 1904, in Buré, Normandy. French painter and graphic artist. In the 1870’s, Fantin-Latour studied in Paris. He was a friend of E. Manet and was influenced by G. Courbet and J. M. Whistler. While advocating new ideas in painting and music, he was largely influenced by 17th-century Dutch painters in his own work. His paintings are marked by a subdued palette and static, tranquil composition. Fantin-Latour painted still lifes, including flower paintings, and group portraits of artists and writers. He also created paintings and lithographs symbolically interpreting the music of Wagner and other 19th-century composers. REFERENCEKahn, G. Fantin-Latour.
