Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a French painter, printmaker, and illustrator born in 1864. He is best known for his vibrant depictions of Parisian nightlife, particularly in the Moulin Rouge and other cabarets. His unique style combined elements of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, characterized by bold colors and expressive lines. Toulouse-Lautrec's work often featured dancers, performers, and the bohemian lifestyle of the late 19th century. Despite his short stature due to a genetic condition, he became a prominent figure in the art world. He passed away in 1901, leaving behind a legacy that continues to influence artists today.
