Toulouse-Lautrec. La Ville Lumière


From 10 April to 29 September 2019, the prestigious rooms of the Villa Reale in Monza will be hosting 150 works from the Herakleidon Museum of Athens to celebrate the artistic career of one of the leading representatives of the Belle Époque: Henri De Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901)

Paris, late 19th century: bohemian life, the artists of Montmartre, the Moulin Rouge, theatres, satirical magazines, and prostitutes. Such is the fascinating world of Toulouse-Lautrec, a genius best known for his advertising posters and portraits of figures who shaped an epoch, leaving a lasting mark on the collective imagination.

Offering a glimpse of bohémienne Paris, and taking visitors back in time, are posters, lithographs, sketches, illustrations and watercolours, along with videos, photographs and period interiors.
Among the most famous works featured in the exhibition are colour lithographs (such as Jane Avril, 1893), advertising posters (such as The Passenger of Cabin 54 of 1895 and Aristide Bruant in his Cabaret of 1893), pencil and ink drawings, commercial sketches and magazine illustrations (such as La Revue blanche of 1895) which have become a symbol of an age indissolubly bound up with the images produced by Viscount #henridetoulouselautrec.
