Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, born November 24, 1864 in Albi, is a French painter, poster artist, and illustrator. Coming from an aristocratic family, he suffered from a genetic disease that weakened his bones and caused repeated fractures, leaving him with an adult height of only 1.52 meters. In 1882, he moved to Paris to pursue artistic studies, quickly integrating into the Montmartre bohemian scene.
In Paris, Toulouse-Lautrec became an iconic figure of nightlife, particularly in the cabarets and brothels of Montmartre, such as the Moulin Rouge and the Moulin de la Galette. His art captured the essence of the era, depicting dancers, singers, circus performers, and prostitutes with vivacity and humanity. His colorful and innovative posters, influenced by Japonism, revolutionized the art of advertising and marked a turning point in graphic art.
Despite his artistic success, Toulouse-Lautrec suffered from alcoholism and health problems related to his lifestyle. He died at the age of 36 in 1901, leaving behind a prolific body of work that offers a vibrant testimony to Paris during the Belle Époque.
