About Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in brief
Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist and illustrator. He is among the best-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period. In a 2005 auction at Christie’s auction house, La Blanchisseuse, his early painting of a young laundress, sold for US$22. 4 million and set a new record for the artist for a price at auction. He was born in Albi, Tarn, in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France, the firstborn child of Alphonse Charles Comte de TOULOUSE-LAUTRec-MonFA and his wife Adèle Zoë Tapié de Celeyran. His parents, the Comte and Comtesse, were first cousins, and his congenital health conditions were attributed to a family history of inbreeding. If Henri had outlived his father, he would have been accorded the family title of Comtede Toulousse de Lautrec. He became a prominent Post-impressionist painter, art nouveau illustrator, and lithographer, and, through his works, recorded many details of the late-19th-century bohemian lifestyle in Paris. He died in Montmartre, an area of Paris known for its bohemians and bohemia. He left a new job in a new studio in 1867.
He rarely left the area over the next 20 years. He also contributed several illustrations to the magazine Le Rire during the mid-1890s. In 1875, he moved to Cormon, where he studied with painter Fernand Bonnat. He later moved to the Cormon studio of Fernand Cormon in Cormon. He stayed there until 1882, when he went to live with his mother in Paris and studied under painter Léon Bonnat in the heart of the city. He went on to become a painter and printmaker. His paintings include “Circus Paintings” (1883) and “L’Auberge de l’Homme” (1909) and his “Portrait of a Young Woman” (1920-1921) He is also known for his portraits of Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin and Georges Seurat. He painted the famous portrait of the French painter Eugène Delacroix, which was exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City in 1913. His work is now on display at the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, along with other works by Van Gogh and Seurat, including “The Marriage of Marie-Antoinette” and “The Rape of the Nibelung,” among other works. His son, Jean-Baptiste, is also a well-known painter and author.
