Victoria Fantin-Latour
Victoria Dubourg Fantin-Latour (1840–1926) was a French still-life painter who is often associated with her husband, Henri Fantin-Latour, also a notable painter. Born in Paris, Victoria was known for her detailed and elegant still-life compositions, particularly of flowers. Her style was closely aligned with the traditional French realist approach, focusing on natural beauty and meticulous attention to detail. Like her husband, she exhibited at the Paris Salon and gained recognition for her work within both artistic and literary circles.
Victoria and her husband shared a deep artistic partnership, and she continued painting after his death, preserving the tradition of still-life painting that was so central to both their careers. Today, her works are less well-known compared to her husband’s, but they are appreciated for their refinement and the quiet beauty they capture. Her paintings are held in several French collections, though they remain less frequently exhibited.
