Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

French painter, printmaker, draftsman, and illustrator
Years: 1864 - 1901

Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa or simply Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901) is a French painter, printmaker, draftsman, and illustrator, whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 1800s yields a collection of exciting, elegant and provocative images of the modern and sometimes decadent life of those times.

Toulouse-Lautrec is known along with Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Gauguin as one of the greatest painters of the Post-Impressionist period.

In a 2005 auction at Christie's auction house a new record is set when La blanchisseuse, an early painting of a young laundress, sells for $22.4 million U.S.
