Roses and Lilies (1888) — Henri Fantin-Latour
Pale lilies, blushing roses, and quiet daylight. Fantin-Latour’s tabletop bouquet is all about balance—silk-soft petals against deep shadow, a porcelain calm cut by delicate stems. The result is intimate, luminous, and endlessly restful. This fine-art print brings 19th-century elegance to any room.
Why it captivates
-
Quiet luxury — subtle colour and soft light instead of spectacle.
-
Masterful realism — petal texture, leaf sheen, and glassy highlights rendered with restraint.
-
Timeless palette — creams, pinks, and greens that harmonise with classic or modern interiors.
-
Poised composition — a serene bouquet set against a deep, atmospheric ground.
-
Art-historical favourite — the definitive French flower painter at his mature best.
-
Statement artwork — graceful focal point for living rooms, bedrooms, and libraries.
What you’ll see
A gathered spray of roses and lilies arranged in quiet symmetry; velvety shadows that make the blooms glow; fine stems and scattered leaves; a simple vessel anchoring the composition. Up close: feathery brushwork and delicate colour shifts. From a step back: a calm, luminous bouquet that holds the room.
A richer historical frame
By 1888, Fantin-Latour had refined his celebrated still-life style—floral subjects painted from life with meditative attention to tone and form. While his friends pursued avant-garde experiments, he sustained a classical, intimate vision that would influence floral painting well into the 20th century.
