The Story Behind
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's "The Opera Messalina at Bordeaux," painted around 1900–1901, offers a rare glimpse into the dramatic world of the opera through the eyes of one of the masters of Post-Impressionism. This vibrant scene captures Messalina, in a striking red gown, descending a staircase, flanked by costumed figures and soldiers. Lautrec's characteristic brushstrokes, often seen in his depictions of Parisian nightlife, are here applied to a theatrical setting, emphasizing the exaggerated gestures and bold colors of the stage. The painting’s raw energy and dynamic composition highlight the artist's fascination with performance and the human form, making it a compelling piece for collectors of French art and fin-de-siècle works, illustrating his continued exploration of modern life beyond the Moulin Rouge.
