Roses in a Glass Vase is an oil-on-canvas painting by French artist Henri Fantin-Latour, executed in 1879. The painting has the dimensions of 68 by 53 cm, and is signed and dated at the top left. It is held at the Manchester Art Gallery. [1]
The canvas depicts yellow, white, pink and red roses in a narrow glass vase on a wooden table. A small stem with a white rose and two pink buds are extended on the left. The background is dark green and textured. Some flowers seem to have been cut prematurely, while others are collapsing. [2]
Fantin-Latour painted many still lifes of roses, which can now be seen in several museums around the world. He was inspired by the Flemish masters of the 17th century and the silent atmosphere of the still lives of fellow French painter Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin.
This painting was bequeathed to the Manchester Art Gallery by Mr and Mrs Assheton-Bennett in 1979. [3]

Pan Is Dead (Still Life) is a 1911 still life painting by Australian artist George Washington Lambert. The painting depicts "a sculpted head of Pan beside white gloves and a glass vase filled with white roses". Lambert created the bust of Pan as part of a costume for a character he played in a tableau vivant, The awakening of Pan, created in 1909 by the wife of the artist Philip Connard.
Lambert constructed a conceit in which he played upon the difference between how things appear on the surface of the canvas and how they are in reality. He abrogated the difference between the solid bust of Pan and the bunch of fragile white roses in the glass vase beside it by making the sculpted curls in Pan's hair resemble roses and by using sharply defined edges to 'sculpt' the flowers.
