More about this artwork

Entitled "Le Matin, Au Pied de l’Échafaud" (The Morning, At the Foot of the Scaffold), this compelling piece by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec from 1893 captures a dramatic moment with poignant intensity. The artwork serves not only as a historical commentary but also as an intriguing visual study of human expression and social interaction.The scene depicted here is filled with tension and anticipation. The central figure, a man in a white garment, his countenance marked by stress and resignation, is presumably a convict at the dawn of his execution day. His powerful stance and the sharp, almost accusatory profile leave a striking impact. Around him, the somber crowd of onlookers suggests a public spectacle, framed by the dark silhouettes and faces marked by a range of emotions from indifference to judgment.Toulouse-Lautrec’s style is evident in the expressive lines and the bold contrast of colors which emphasize the gravity of the moment. The poster also includes text elements, indicative of its use as an advertisement. "Lire dans 'Le Matin'" suggests that a detailed account of the event can be read in the "Le Matin" publication, adding a layer of media critique or reflection on the public’s consumption of such morbid news.

Comte Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec-Monfa (24 November 1864 – 9 September 1901), known as Toulouse Lautrec was a French painter, printmaker, draughtsman, caricaturist, and illustrator whose immersion in the colourful and theatrical life of Paris in the late 19th century allowed him to produce a collection of enticing, elegant, and provocative images of the sometimes decadent affairs of those times.
