"Messaline" is a lithograph created by the French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in 1901, depicting the infamous empress of ancient Rome, Valeria Messalina. This work is part of Toulouse-Lautrec's exploration of Parisian life and its underbelly, as well as his interest in the theatrical and the sensational. The lithograph showcases Toulouse-Lautrec's distinctive style, characterized by bold outlines, dynamic composition, and a keen sense of character.

In "Messaline," Toulouse-Lautrec captures the essence of the empress, known for her beauty and licentiousness, in a moment of dramatic intensity. The artwork reflects the artist's fascination with strong, often controversial female figures, and his ability to convey psychological depth through his depictions. The lithograph is executed with a limited color palette, which was typical of Toulouse-Lautrec's later works, and emphasizes the emotional impact of the scene.

As a prominent post-impressionist, Toulouse-Lautrec's contribution to the graphic arts was significant, and "Messaline" is an example of his mastery in lithography. The piece is emblematic of the fin-de-siècle atmosphere in Paris, where the bohemian lifestyle and the world of entertainment were frequent subjects for artists. "Messaline" not only reflects Toulouse-Lautrec's personal artistic vision but also provides insight into the broader cultural and social milieu of the time.

This work is part of Toulouse-Lautrec's mature period, created just a few years before his death, and it exemplifies the themes of decadence and the demimonde that pervaded his oeuvre. "Messaline" remains an important work within the context of Toulouse-Lautrec's career and the history of French art, offering a window into the complexities of turn-of-the-century Parisian society.
