Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), also known as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (French: [ɑ̃ʁi də tuluz lotʁɛk]), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce a collection of enticing, elegant, and provocative images of the modern, sometimes decadent, affairs of those times. Toulouse-Lautrec is among the best-known painters of the Post-Impressionist period, with Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Gauguin. In a 2005 auction at Christie's auction house, La Blanchisseuse, his early painting of a young laundress, sold for US$22.4 million and set a new record for the artist for a price at auction.

Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa was born at the Hôtel du Bosc in Albi, Tarn, in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France, the firstborn child of Alphonse Charles Comte de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (1838–1913) and his wife Adèle Zoë Tapi

Born into the aristocracy, Toulouse-Lautrec broke both his legs around the time of his adolescence and, due to an unknown medical condition, was very short as an adult due to his undersized legs. In addition to his alcoholism, he developed an affinity for brothels and prostitutes that directed the subject matter for many of his works.

Come to the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum and you’ll also discover a prestigious setting: the Palais de la Berbie. A listed Historical Monument, the Palais de la Berbie is one of the best-preserved episcopal complexes in France. It is one of the two major monuments of the Episcopal City of Albi, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010.

A fortress bearing testament to the power of the bishops

In the second half of the 13th century, the bishops of Albi undertook the construction of the Palais de la Berbie and then the Cathédrale Sainte-Cécile. A true fortress, the building bears testament to the power of the bishops of Albi.
Its medieval architecture, with its walls of extraordinary height and thickness, is constructed around a Court of Honour and a keep. It is from this Court of Honour that you access the museum entrance today.

From the Renaissance to the 18th century, successive prelates transformed the fortress into a veritable pleasure palace, with state rooms and French gardens.

The two terraces and the classical garden of the Palace were created in the
