Step into the vibrant world of late 19th-century Paris through the art and life of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec — one of the most distinctive artists of Montmartre.

Known for his unforgettable images of cabarets, dancers, performers and Parisian nightlife, Toulouse-Lautrec captured a world of movement, spectacle, freedom and hidden fragility. His works reveal not only the glamour of the Moulin Rouge and the bohemian atmosphere of Montmartre, but also the people who shaped this extraordinary cultural moment.

Montmartre and the nightlife of Paris at the end of the 19th century;
cabarets, dancers and the figures who appeared in his works;
the visual language that made Toulouse-Lautrec one of the defining artists of his era;
why his art remains so powerful and recognisable today.

The talk is designed for anyone interested in art, Paris, cultural history and the fascinating world behind the images of Toulouse-Lautrec.
