Tribute to Robert Schumann

ID: #2798 | Romantism | People

Date: 1893
Medium: oil on canvas
Location: private collection

The painting depicts a group of figures who are depicted in a hazy, dreamlike style. In the centre is a lady in a red dress holding a parchment scroll. Next to her stands a figure in a dark cloak looking back. In the background are several people, including an angel or a muse with wings who is bending over one of the figures. The overall impression is mystical and perhaps symbolic, with the elements and colours creating an atmosphere rather than a specific story.

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.
