About the piece
Painted by Henri Fantin-Latour in the late 1870s, this evocative oil painting serves as a romantic homage to the composer Hector Berlioz. The composition features muses and figures representing characters from Berlioz’s greatest works, such as Romeo and Juliet and Faust, gathered in a somber, atmospheric garden to offer wreaths and flowers at his monument.
