Henri Toulouse-Lautrec was inspired by the vibrant nightlife of 19th-century Paris, particularly the Moulin Rouge and Cabaret venues. His life was marked by tragedy, including childhood leg injuries and a later struggle with alcohol addiction that contributed to his early death at age 36.

He was known for his graphic art and poster designs, particularly for the Moulin Rouge, and his work celebrated the lively and hedonistic aspects of Parisian life.
