Still Life: Corner of a Table, Henri Fantin-Latour

Still Life: Corner of a Table

Henri Fantin-Latour, 1873

This canvas, exhibited at the Salon of 1873, relates to Fantin-Latour’s largest and most famous painting of the decade, The Corner of a Table, an immense composition that includes detailed portraits of several major young Parisian poets and writers. The table around which they are posed displays many of the still-life elements that are arranged in a natural, random fashion in this work.
