The Temptation of St. Anthony

The painting depicts a group of figures in an idyllic landscape who are apparently shown in motion, perhaps dancing. The figures have an antique appearance, are dressed in flowing robes and some are nude. The colours of the painting are muted with a predominance of warm tones. The painting style is impressionistic with blurred outlines and an emphasis on light and atmosphere.

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.
