Henri Fantin-Latour

Japanese: ファンタン･ラトゥール（英語表記）Henri Fantin‐Latour

1836‐1904
French painter. Born in Grenoble. After receiving his first lessons in painting from his father, a portrait painter, he was inspired by Veronese, Van Dyck, and Watteau at the Louvre. He was also friends with the Impressionists, but maintained a traditional style and did not participate in Impressionist exhibitions. His most popular works at the time were his still lifes of flowers, which were highly praised not only in France but also in England, where he visited several times. Although he is also known as a portrait painter, works such as "Homage to Delacroix" (1864) and "Atelier at the Batignolles" (1870), which depicts Manet and his companions, are formally connected to 17th-century Dutch group portraits and show a moderate style.

1836‐1904
フランスの画家。グルノーブル生れ。肖像画家の父から絵の手ほどきをうけたのち，ルーブル美術館でベロネーゼ，ファン･デイク，ワトーらに啓発される。印象派とも交際したが，作風は伝統的な手法を堅持，印象派展にも参加しなかった。当時最も人気を博した彼の作品は花の静物で，これらはフランスのみならず彼が何回か訪れたイギリスでも高く評価された。肖像画家としても知られるが，《ドラクロア頌》(1864)，マネとその仲間たちを描いた《バティニョールのアトリエ》(1870)などは，形式的には17世紀オランダの集団肖像画につながり，穏健な作風を示す。
