Apotheose de Berlioz

Medium: oil on canvas
Location: private collection
Dimensions: 46.5 x 38

The painting depicts an impressionistic scene with four figures. In the centre, an illuminated figure with angel wings is shown seemingly dancing or taking flight. Around her are three darker figures, two of whom are standing and one seated. The scene has a dreamlike and ethereal feel due to the blurred and dynamic painting style, which gives the work a sense of movement and lightness.

Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904). French romantic painter known for his portraits of Parisian artists and floral still lifes. From the beginning of his career, he devoted himself to copying paintings by old masters. Perhaps that is why he barely touched on Impressionism, although he was in contact with Impressionist artists. Under the influence of Whistler, he directed his attention to England, where he began to sell his still lifes. He did so well in England that in his native France, his paintings become almost unknown. Later, he started focusing on lithography that symbolically expressed the music of Wagner.
