-Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was a French painter known for his distinctive style and depictions of Parisian nightlife in the late 19th century. Despite physical limitations due to a genetic disorder, he became one of the most influential artists of his time. Toulouse-Lautrec's works often featured scenes from cabarets, theaters, and brothels, capturing the vibrant and sometimes decadent atmosphere of bohemian Paris. He was skilled at portraying the personalities of his subjects with empathy and insight, using bold colors, strong lines, and dynamic compositions. His art not only reflects the essence of Belle Époque Paris but also serves as a valuable historical record of the era's social dynamics.
