As a young man, he enrolled at the Lecoq de Boisbaudran, then the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris and later studied at the school of academic painter Charles Gabriel Gleyre. Several trips to England enabled the artist to meet members of the Pre-Raphaelite circle and establish friendships with other English painters, most notably Whistler.Though his work did not cause an impact at the French Salons Fantin-Latour developed an audience for his classical still life paintings among English clients.
