1878
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Rinaldo is a 1878 by Henri Fantin-Latour, a Impressionism work, depicting Aeneas, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man, Rinaldo, in a simple setting. He's dressed in old-fashioned clothing. The artist paid close attention to the details of his face and clothes. The painting has a quiet, intimate feel to it. This might be because the artist, Henri Fantin-Latour, was known for painting still lifes and portraits, which often have a calm atmosphere. You can learn more about the use of technique in paintings like this one by looking into chiaroscuro.
Ignace Henri Jean Theodore Fantin-Latour (French pronunciation: ; 14 January 1836 – 25 August 1904) was a French painter and lithographer best known for his flower paintings and group portraits of Parisian artists and writers.
