Henri-Marie-Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec Monfa was born on November 24, 1864 in Albi, France. He was born with pyknodysostasis, a disease that stunted his growth and made his bones very fragile. He grew to be only four and a half feet tall. Toulouse became a famous Bohemian painter in Paris, and his paintings were concerned with people like circus performers and prostitutes and night clubs like the Moulin Rouge. He died of alcoholism in 1901.
