He was born on January 14, 1836, in Grenoble, France, and died on August 25, 1904, in Paris. Fantin-Latour trained at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and was influenced by the Romantic movement, as well as by the works of the Dutch masters.

His major works include 'A Studio at Les Batignolles' (1870) and 'The Flowers' (1880).
