Victoria Fantin-Latour
Basket of roses and pansies Panier of zinnias
Nee Dubourg, Victoria was the wife of Henri Fantin-Latour.
Both artists used neutral unfinished backgrounds to set off the colours of their still life subjects.
This is a collection of favorite still life paintings I've found over the years. I have a particular interest in the oil medium, but occasionally include works in other media, even the odd photo of a nice vase or flower. I hope it will provide a resource for still life painters and art lovers.
There are a few paintings of interiors, and some botanical paintings, which are not really classified as still life, but they fit better here than in my landscape or figurative painting blogs (see links).
