Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa, known as Toulouse-Lautrec, was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.

The Château de Montespieu is an early medieval fortress in the commune of Navès in the Tarn département of France. Constructed on foundations dating back to the 12th century, it was entirely rebuilt in the 16th century, remodeled in the 17th century and then restored in 1900. It has been listed as a monument historique since 26 October 1992.

How Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec worked

From the record of their own practice.

Toulouse-Lautrec's debt to the Impressionists, particularly the more figurative painters like Manet and Degas, is apparent, that within his works, one can draw parallels to the detached barmaid at A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Manet and the behind-the-scenes ballet dancers of Degas. Toulouse-Lautrec's style was also influenced by the ukiyo-e genre (Japanese woodblock prints), which became popular in the Parisian art world. Toulouse-Lautrec excelled at depicting people in their working environments, with the colour and movement of the gaudy nightlife present but the glamour stripped away. He was a master at painting crowd scenes where each figure was highly individualised. At the time they were painted, the individual figures in his larger paintings could be identified by silhouette alone, and the names of many of these characters have been recorded.
