fantin-latour (ignace-henri-joseph-théodore), french painter, was born in 1836 in grenoble and died in 1904 in buré. Student of courbet. Fantin-latour is both chardin and delacroix, the dutch and the romantics. Among his works: homage to delacroix (1865) and the toast (1865), two paintings depicting well-known writers and artists. From 1878 to 1883 he exhibited potraits, lithographs, drawings and paintings, produced under the musical influence of schumann, berlioz and wagner. In 1888, he executed eight lithographs intended to illustrate hector berlioz by adolphe julien.
