Created around 1896, Undine reflects Henri Fantin-Latour’s deep passion for musical themes, mythology, and Symbolist dreamscapes later in his career. Inspired by European folklore and musical compositions like Albert Lortzing’s or Richard Wagner’s romantic operas, the painting depicts Undine—the elemental water nymph who seeks a human soul through love. Fantin-Latour employs a soft, feathered brush technique (sfumato) that dissolves hard edges into glowing light and mist, creating an otherworldly, poetic atmosphere that distinguishes his Symbolist works from his earlier strict Realism.
