Henri Fantin Latour emerges as one of the finest artists to render a Flower, his consummate skill and technical prowess was honed over many years of study of the Masters at the Louvre in Paris. He was a student of a master teacher where Memory painting and drawing were the principal skills to develop, Edgar Degas, Rodin, and L'Hermitte would also benefit from this unusual practice. Fantin was associated with the impressionists as friends but did not hold their views as useful for his purposes however they were friends and his Portraits of Manet confirm that friendship. Fantin was taken into the collector base of English society and produced over 800 flower paintings. One of the true greats of picture-making.
