"Through such friends as Otto Scholderer, a painter and violinist from Frankfurt, Edmore Maitre (d. 1898), a pianist and dilettante, Adolphe Jullien (1840 - 1932), his biographer, and the judge Antoine Lascoux, Fantin-Latour discovered the contemporary German music of Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Richard Wagner. He was imbued with the spirit of Romanticism...Music provided a reservoir of ideas in which Fantin-Latour's escapism could find imaginative expression; he discovere the dreaming idealistic side of life that he did not find in contemporary society."
