Son of the painter Théodore Fantin-Latour, he first started working under the direction of his father, and then alongside Lecoq de Boisbaudran and Courbet.
He enrolled into l'Ecole des Beaux Arts in 1854, and debuted at the 1861 salon. He was part of the "Salon des Refusés" in 1863.
He earned his first medal at the salon of 1870, then again in 1878, and in 1879 he was decorated with the French Légion d'Honneur.
This delicate artists work is characterized by his soft touch technique and his diffuse light. He produced work and excelled in portraits, genre scenes, floral works, as well as allegoric compositions. He was also a master pastellist and lithographer.
Contemporary of the Impressionists, he was a close friend of theirs, and shared there struggle without ever being one of them.

Henri Fantin-Latour
Henri Fantin-Latour, in full Ignace-Henri-Jean-Théodore Fantin-Latour (born Jan. 14, 1836, Grenoble, France—died Aug. 25, 1904, Buré), French painter, printmaker, and illustrator noted for his still lifes with flowers and his portraits, especially group compositions, of contemporary French celebrities in the arts. Fantin-Latour’s first teacher was his father, a well-known portrait painter. Later, he studied at the school of Lecoq de Boisbaudran and attended the École des Beaux-Arts. He exhibited at the official French Salons, but in 1863 he also showed his work in the rebel Salon des Refusés. Although academic in manner, Fantin-Latour was independent in style. He had numerous friends among the leading French painters of his day, including J.-A.-D. Ingres, Eugène Delacroix, Camille Corot, Édouard Manet, and Gustave Courbet. His portrait groups, often arranged in rows of heads and figures like 17th-century Dutch guild portraits, are perhaps most interesting for their portrayal of various literary and artistic persons of the time. Fantin-Latour’s flower paintings were particularly appreciated in England, where, through James McNeill Whistler and Sir John Everett Millais, Fantin-Latour found a patron in Edwin Edwards. A wealthy amateur engraver, he supported Fantin-Latour for years by purchasing his still lifes. The last period of Fantin-Latour’s life was primarily devoted to lithography. In the Salon of 1876 he exhibited L’Anniversaire, honouring composer Hector Berlioz, and thereafter his lithographs were shown regularly. Most characteristic were his delicate portraits and imaginative drawings illustrative of the music of Richard Wagner, Berlioz, and others. He also illustrated Adolphe Jullien’s biographies of Wagner (1886) and Berlioz (1888).
