He became a serious painter later in life, and was very inspired by nature. His best-known work shows jungle scenes. Many illustrated books inspired his work, as well as botanical gardens in Paris. He was fascinated by “taxidermfied” wild animals. His paintings often had an exotic feeling. He claimed to create a new genre of portrait landscape by staring at a painting with a view (like a favourite part of a city) and create a person in the foreground.
Henri Toulouse-Lautrec: Lautrec was an aristocratic, alcoholic dwarf known for his paintings of dance hall performers and prostitutes, as well as his promotion posters for entertainers and celebrities. He was a very sickly little man. He was fascinated by horses, and they are seen in his earlier and later works. He did numerous chalk drawings. Lautrec painted in an Impressionist manner and often posed sitters in the Montmatre garden of Pere Forest. He painted with oil thinned with turpentine on cardboard, showing his loose and sketchy brushwork.
