"Around the Piano" (French: "Autour du piano") is an 1885 oil on canvas painting by French artist Ignace Henri Jean Fantin-Latour. Known for his realistic group portraits, still lifes, and imaginative lithographs, Fantin-Latour was a contemporary of the Impressionists but maintained a more conservative, realist style throughout his career. This painting is a notable example of his group portraits, which often depicted friends and notable figures of the arts gathered in intimate settings.

Measuring 160.5 by 200.5 centimeters, "Around the Piano" is a large composition that captures a moment of musical enjoyment among a group of men, who are attentively focused on the piano player. The scene is set in a bourgeois interior, which reflects the 19th-century French salon culture where music and intellectual discussions were a common pastime. The painting is characterized by its detailed rendering of the figures and the interior space, as well as the subtle interplay of light and shadow that enhances the atmosphere of concentration and cultural refinement.

The individuals depicted in "Around the Piano" are not generic figures but were identifiable personalities of the time, including musicians, composers, and critics. This adds a layer of historical significance to the work, as it serves as a document of the cultural milieu in which Fantin-Latour was immersed. The painting is also an example of the artist's skill in portraiture, capturing not only the likenesses but also the personalities and relationships between the sitters.

"Around the Piano" is held in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, where it continues to be appreciated for its artistic and historical value. The painting is often discussed in the context of Fantin-Latour's oeuvre as a testament to his ability to blend the traditional genre of group portraiture with a modern sensibility, creating works that resonate with the cultural dynamics of his time.
