Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864–1901) was a French painter, printmaker, and illustrator known for his depictions of Parisian nightlife, especially in Montmartre. His main features include: 1.

Focus on Nightlife – He captured cabarets, dance halls, and brothels, portraying performers, dancers, and the bohemian life of Paris. 3. Lithography and Pos

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec’s “At the Moulin Rouge” shocked audiences with its depiction of a woman’s face painted an unnatural green—a bold choice that challenged traditional ideas of beauty and realism.
