| Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (November 24, 1864 - September 9, 1901) was a French painter. Toulouse-Lautrec was born in Albi, Tarn in the Midi-Pyrenees Region of France. From an old aristocratic family that had lost much of its prestige, he was the son of Comte Alphonse and Comtesse Adele de Toulouse-Lautrec. At age twelve Henri broke his left leg, and at fourteen his right leg. The bones did not heal properly, and his legs ceased to grow. He reached maturity with a body trunk of normal size but with abnormally short legs. He was only 4 1/2 feet (1.5 meters) tall. | |||
