Descripción
A delicate lithograph by Henri Fantin-Latour, inspired by Rossini's opera, capturing a mythological scene with atmospheric light and shadow.
This lithograph by Henri Fantin-Latour depicts the legendary Queen Semiramis, a subject drawn from the operatic tradition, specifically the work of Gioachino Rossini. The artist, known for his technical mastery of the lithographic medium, employs a soft, atmospheric application of ink to create a dreamlike quality. The composition features the central figure of the queen, standing in a state of quiet contemplation, flanked by attendants who assist with her toilette. The scene is rendered with a focus on light and shadow, where the figures emerge from a hazy, indistinct background.
Fantin-Latour was deeply interested in the intersection of music and visual art, often creating works inspired by the compositions of Wagner, Berlioz, and Rossini. The inclusion of a musical stave at the top of the print, featuring a melody from Rossini's opera, confirms this thematic connection. The print demonstrates the artist's ability to translate the emotional weight of musical scores into a visual language of texture and tone. The figures are not defined by rigid outlines, but rather by the accumulation of delicate marks that suggest form and volume through subtle gradations of grey and black.
This specific impression includes a dedication, reflecting the artist's engagement with the cultural circles of late nineteenth-century France. The work captures the Symbolist interest in myth, memory, and the evocative power of the unseen. By choosing a subject from classical antiquity, Fantin-Latour explores themes of majesty and domesticity, filtered through a lens of romantic idealism. The print serves as an example of the artist's late-career focus on lithography, a medium he used to explore the boundaries between reality and imagination, providing a glimpse into the aesthetic concerns of the period.

Artist Biography
Henri Fantin Latour
Fantin-Latour painted group portraits that functioned as manifestos. Homage to Delacroix, completed in 1864, gathered Manet, Baudelaire, Whistler and others around a portrait of the recently deceased painter. A Studio at Les Batignolles, painted in 1870, arranged the same circle around Manet at his easel. The Corner of the Table, in 1872, seated Verlaine and Rimbaud among the Parnassian poets. Each painting declared an allegiance, mapped a network, and recorded the face of everyone who mattered in Parisian culture at that moment.
His flower paintings are the opposite. They are quiet, domestic, technically precise, and painted without any obvious agenda. Roses in a glass bowl. Peonies on a table. He exhibited them in England, where they sold steadily to collectors who had no interest in Parisian literary politics. In France, during his lifetime, the flowers were practically unknown. The irony is that they are what most people now associate with his name.
He trained under Horace Lecoq de Boisbaudran, an unorthodox teacher who had his students draw from memory rather than from the model. His classmates at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts included Degas and Alphonse Legros. He was friends with Manet, Whistler, Morisot and most of the painters who became the Impressionists, but his own style remained conservative: careful drawing, smooth finish, traditional composition. He stood at the centre of the avant-garde and painted like an old master, which is an unusual position to occupy for forty years.
He was also a member of the Jinglar Society, a nine-person dining club devoted to Japanese art and ceramics, which met to eat food off Japanese plates.
