Ok. Now the painting we are looking at now is by the French painter Toulouse-Lautrec. The painting is called at the Moulin Rouge as you probably know the Moulin Rouge is a night club in Paris. Maybe some of you remember the film Moulin Rouge?
In a nineteenth in the century the night club was very famous for it`s beautiful dancers ans singers. Toulouse-Lautrec did a lot of paintings and posters of the Moulin Rouge. He specially loved painting the dancers and in these paintings he sometimes included his friends too.
In the middle of the picture there are five people who were sitting at the table having a drink. The woman, who is wearing a hat, is a dancer. Her name is La Macarona. And the man sitting next to her on the left is a friend of Toulouse-Lautrec. He was a photographer. On the right here there is a woman with fair hair, blue eyes and very red lips. Her face looks very white. That another famous dancer called Jane Avril.
At the back of the picture on the right there are two women who are standing together. One of them is touching her hair. That`s La Goulue. And she was one of the most famous singers at the Moulin Rouge at that time.
Now this is very interesting. If you look carefully to the left of the two women There are two men looking out of the night club. One of them is very tall and the other man is very short. The very tall man is Toulouse-Lautrec`s cousin Gabriel. And the other man is Toulouse-Lautrec himself. Toulouse-Lautrec was only one meter fifty centimeters tall. He had very short legs and couldn`t walk very well.
Some people think that this is why he loved painting the dancers at the Moulin Rouge. Because they all had beautiful long legs.
So if you would like to follow me will be moving in the another room.
