1894
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Aux Ambassadeurs is a 1894 by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman in a bright orange dress sitting at a table. Behind her, a blue wall has a dark shape that looks like a doorway or window. Outside, green trees and a patch of sky are visible through the opening. The woman holds a yellow fan and wears a white hat with a dark band. The colors are bold and flat, with no shading to blend them. The background looks like it was cut out and pasted on, giving it a rough, collage-like feel. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how it’s different from this painting’s style.
Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Montfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse-Lautrec (French: ), was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator.
