Still Life with Pansies
Artist: Henri Fantin-Latour
Year: 1874
Based on a catalogue of works compiled by the artist’s wife, this still life is one of 31 floral and fruit compositions artist Henri Fantin-Latour created in 1874.
The inclusion of a branch bearing apples hints at an autumn setting, while the pansies, typically spring blooms, were likely grown in a greenhouse. Fantin-Latour revisited similar elements in later works, notably Potted Pansies (1883) and Pansies (1903), showing his enduring fascination with this subject matter.
