About Victoria Dubourg
- Victoria Dubourg or Victoria Fantin-Latour (1 December 1840 – 30 September 1926) was a French flower painter. Dubourg was born in Paris and trained with Fanny Chéron, copying old masters such as Willem Kalf in the Louvre.
- There she met the painter Henri Fantin-Latour, whom she married in 1876.
- She collaborated with him on floral paintings, but also produced works under her own name that she signed "V Dubourg".
- Dubourg has been critiqued as an artist whose work lacks originality, simply reproducing the styles of her well known husband.
- However, a careful review of her early work shows that Dubourg began producing still life two years prior to meeting Fantin-Latour.Her painting A Basket of Flowers was included in the 1905 book Women Painters of the World.
