Toulouse-Lautrec Home - Paris

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's home is on Rue Caulaincourt in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris, France.  The famed artist lived here from 1887 to 1893.  With his mother's approval he originally moved to the area under the guidance of portrait painter Leon Bonnat.  In 1882 he moved into the studio of Fernand Cormon, where he lived for the next five years.  In 1887 he moved here, to the intersection of Rue Caulaincourt and Rue Tourlaque, with his childhood friend Dr. Henry Bourges.  While living here he painted many scenes of the bohemian Montmarte socity, including those of the local prostitutes.  In 1889 he was commissioned to paint posters for the newly opened Moulin Rouge.  In exchange they displayed his works and reserved a table for him.  Drink would eventually take its toll on the young artist.  He died in 1901 of alchol related issues, at the age of 36.
