Specialist note

In 1880, the author Émile Zola wrote: ‘The canvases of M. Fantin-Latour do not assault your eyes, do not leap at you from the walls. They must be looked at for a length of time in order to penetrate them, and their conscientiousness, their simple truth – you take them in entirely and then you return’ (É. Zola, quoted in E. Lucie-Smith, Henri Fantin-Latour, New York, 1977, p. 37).
