About the piece

Painted in 1888, this masterpiece by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec depicts the Cirque Fernando in Montmartre. The composition is strikingly modern, utilizing a bold diagonal to emphasize the movement of the horse and the theatrical presence of the ringmaster, Monsieur Loyal, against the backdrop of the circus spectators.
