20th century French painter famous for his flower paintings. He studied firstly with his father who was also an artist and then later in Paris at the Ecole Des Beaux-Arts. He became friends with artists such as Manet and Whistler who went on to become Impressionist painters but Fantin-Latour kept to his conservative style. He moved to England where his paintings were very much in demand and so much so that he work was largely unknown in his home country of France. He produced very many portraits and still life paintings of flowers in his life and his paintings are widely collected and appear in museums all over the world.
