Barnard Castle, County Durham, UK – The Bowes Museum is pleased to present “Painting Flowers: Fantin-Latour and the Impressionists”, on view at the museum until October 9th. Flower power is the theme running through the first large scale show in Britain to celebrate the still life paintings of Henri Fantin-Latour. Although the artist’s name might not be the first to trip off everyone’s tongue when reflecting on 19th Century greats, he was nevertheless up there with the finest, including Édouard Manet, who was a witness at his wedding, and Whistler, who introduced him to London’s artistic and intellectual society.
