Although he sought recognition as a portrait painter, Fantin-Latour enjoyed his greatest popular success with still-life subjects. He was especially celebrated for his skill in portraying roses, the favorite flower of the 19th century. Unlike his Impressionist contemporaries, Fantin-Latour preferred his studio to natural environments, and brought freshly picked varieties indoors to study their relationships of tones and colors. Applying techniques he had acquired in his study of Rococo art in the Louvre, Fantin-Latour combined the buildup of paint surfaces with colored glazes to achieve glimmering surfaces that, in the present painting, capture the essence of his subject with characteristic realism and sumptuous beauty.
