EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At the Circus: The Spanish Walk, 1899" by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec takes us back to the enchanting world of fin de siècle Paris. With delicate strokes of graphite, colored pastel, and charcoal on heavy wove paper, Toulouse-Lautrec skillfully captures a moment in time that is both mysterious and mesmerizing. The image depicts a rider performing the Spanish Walk, an elegant equestrian movement characterized by high-stepping action. The artist drew this scene from memory while undergoing treatment for alcoholism, adding an intriguing layer of personal struggle to the artwork. As we gaze at this piece displayed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, we are transported to a bustling circus arena filled with anticipation and excitement. The shadowy figures in the background hint at an urban setting where entertainment thrives amidst Parisian society. Toulouse-Lautrec's post-impressionist style shines through as he masterfully portrays not only the horse and rider but also their connection and grace. The top hat worn by the performer adds a touch of elegance that was characteristic of belle époque Paris. This print serves as a reminder of Toulouse-Lautrec's immense talent as well as his ability to capture moments that transcend time. It invites us into his world where art intertwines with life itself – a true masterpiece from one of history's most celebrated artists.
