Painting Description
"The Corner of the Table" (French: "Coin de Table") is an 1872 oil painting by French artist Ignace Henri Jean Fantin-Latour, known for his still lifes and group portraits. This work is notable for its depiction of several prominent literary figures of the time, captured in a candid and intimate setting. The painting measures 160.5 by 225.1 centimeters and is part of the collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
In "The Corner of the Table," Fantin-Latour brings together an assembly of poets associated with the Parnassian movement, which emphasized formal precision and sought to elevate poetry to the status of art for art's sake. The scene is set in a Parisian interior, where the poets are gathered around a table, engaged in what appears to be a deep and thoughtful conversation. The composition is characterized by a sense of realism and attention to detail, with each figure rendered with individuality and psychological depth.
Among the sitters are Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, whose complex relationship and contributions to French literature have been the subject of much fascination. The inclusion of these figures, along with others in the painting, provides a snapshot of the intellectual and artistic milieu of Paris in the late 19th century. Fantin-Latour's work is often celebrated for its ability to capture the essence of an era and the personalities that shaped it.
"The Corner of the Table" is considered an important work in Fantin-Latour's oeuvre, reflecting both his technical skill as a portraitist and his connection to the literary world of his time. The painting has been analyzed for its portrayal of the dynamics among the poets and for its subtle commentary on the role of the artist in society. It remains a valuable historical document, offering insight into the cultural life of Paris during a period of rich artistic and literary activity.
