CAROLUS-DURAN (CHARLES-AUGUSTE-ÉMILE DURANT). Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904)

Henri Fantin-Latour (1836-1904). Artist: Carolus-Duran (Charles-Auguste-Émile Durant) (French, Lille 1837-1917 Paris). Dimensions: 18 × 14 7/8 in. (45.7 × 37.8 cm). Date: 1861.
Young art students Carolus-Duran and Fantin met while copying masterpieces at the Louvre about 1855. Carolus-Duran celebrated their friendship in two pictures of 1861: this likeness of twenty-five-year-old Fantin, and a closely related portrait (Musée d'Orsay, Paris). Fresh and penetrating, the present portrayal reveals the talents that made Carolus-Duran a rising star. Employing striking tonal contrasts and bold brushwork, he demonstrated his allegiance to the daring styles championed by Courbet and Manet. However, Carolus-Duran would soon temper his approach; he became a fashionable society portraitist and teacher, counting among his pupils John Singer Sargent (1856-1925).
