Con le parole del museo — in russo
Анри Фантен-Латур, мастер больших групповых портретов и туманных аллегорий, ежегодно для заработка писал десятки натюрмортов, в которых почти неизменно присутствовали цветы. Данный цветочный букет — один из самых ранних в его творчестве. В натюрморте нет привкуса постановочности. Компоновка букета не противоречит времени цветения растений. Сами цветы, кажется только что собранные, — не изысканные оранжерейные редкости, а растения, которые можно найти в саду по соседству. Они составляют букет, радующий глаз яркими красками и разнообразием форм соцветий. Композиция исполнена довольно пастозно, в чем чувствуется влияние Курбе. При ее создании художник смог в полной мере реализовать свой талант колориста, показывая характер каждого цветка и объединяя их в красочное целое. Его цветы — не многозначные символы, но, прежде всего, предметы любования их живой и естественной красотой. Н. Б. Дёмина

Nella vita di Henri Fantin-Latour
Tutta la vita1858
Meets James McNeill Whistler at the Louvre
In 1858 Fantin-Latour met the American painter James McNeill Whistler at the Louvre; Whistler became his friend and encouraged him to come to London.
1859
Meets Gustave Courbet
In 1859 Fantin-Latour met Gustave Courbet and worked in his studio for the next two years. According to other accounts, he only briefly frequented Courbet's studio in 1861; a painting from this period shows him with the painter and caricaturist Oulevay.
1859
The Salon of 1859 rejects his self-portrait
The Salon of 1859 rejected his first submissions, including one of his self-portraits. Fantin-Latour then began exhibiting with his friend Édouard Manet and the future Impressionists Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet.
1859–1881
Stays in London at Whistler's invitation
At Whistler's invitation Fantin-Latour stayed in London several times between 1859 and 1881 and found many admirers in England for his still lifes of flowers and fruit. Whistler introduced him to his brother-in-law Francis Seymour Haden and the engraver Edwin Edwards; it was in London that Fantin learned etching.
1860s
Still lifes bring recognition in England
In the 1860s Fantin-Latour cultivated the still life, a genre that would play a capital role in his career. His flowers and fruit found recognition in England, while in France they were said to be practically unknown during his lifetime; his English patrons and dealers Edwin and Ruth Edwards advised him to use simple vases and table tops to show off his gift for rendering texture and colour.
1862
A still life at the Royal Academy in London
In 1862 one of his still lifes was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London. It was the first of a long series: thereafter he showed several there almost every year, and they invariably occupied a prominent place in the exhibition.
