Henri Fantin Latour - Frontispice. Vérité

description

Summary

At the top of the composition, Fame flies by blowing her trumpet which she holds with her right hand. With her left hand, she supports one end of a tablet. The other end of the tablet is supported by a little child Cupid. Near him, another little Cupid brings a palm. Truth, naked and seen from behind, comes out of the well; her left knee is placed on the circular margin that occupies the bottom of the composition. She holds a long drapery in her left arm and in her right hand she holds a stylet. She finishes engraving on the tablet the names of R. Schumann, H. Berlioz, R. Wagner, J. Brahms. In the distance, there is a landscape where the sky and the hills are reflected in the water.
