Victoria Dubourg
1840-1926


Parisian-born Dubourg is thought to have met fellow painter and husband-to-be Henri Fantin-Latour at the Louvre in the mid 1860s. While it isn't known whether Dubourg was taught by her husband, two portraits that she exhibited at the Salon in 1869 and 1870 are reminiscent of his style. From then on she exhibited only the still lifes of fruit and flowers for which she is best known, many of which may have been painted during summers spent with Henri at Bure in Orne. Dubourg developed a simple style, lacking in detail, but with lively colours in the background.
