Jane Avril enter the Moulin Rouge 1892

"Jane Avril Entering the Moulin Rouge" is a striking 1892 lithograph by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, renowned for his depictions of Parisian nightlife. The artwork showcases Jane Avril, a famous French dancer, in a vibrant blue dress, her signature green hat perched upon her head. Lautrec's signature bold lines and flat planes capture the essence of the Moulin Rouge, a popular cabaret at the time. This work is a prime example of the artist's signature style, with its use of vivid colors, flat shapes, and emphasis on movement. Currently housed at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, "Jane Avril Entering the Moulin Rouge" stands as a timeless representation of Parisian nightlife during the Belle Epoque.
