Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904) was a French academic painter who is best known for his floral paintings and group portraits. When he was young, his father gave him drawing lessons and, when he was older, he studied with Lecoq de Boisbaudran. He was closely associated with the artists Whistler and Manet, both of whom went on to become Impressionists, however, Fantin-Latour always remained faithful to his academic training.
