Born in Cateau-Cambrésis, Matisse began painting during a recovery period in 1890 and decided to become an artist, despite his parents’ opposition. He studied at the Julian School and the School of Fine Arts in Paris, where he studied under the symbolist painter Gustave Moreau. Matisse is known for his innovative use of color and form in his paintings, sculptures, and drawings. He was one of the leaders of the Fauvist movement, characterized by the use of pure colors and an expression of the intensity of emotions. His work is based on simplification, stylization, and synthesis. Regarding the appreciation of his works, purchase prices range from €150,000 to €300,000 for a Matisse painting from early Fauvism, while Fauvist canvases and Orientalist portraits from the twenties and thirties reach prices between €1 and €5 million. The original painting shows the moment when Henri Matisse laid the foundations for Fauvism, an important current in modern art. The artwork is called Luxe, Calme et Volupté and was painted by Henri Matisse in 1904. The title is drawn from a poem by Charles Baudelaire, "L'invitation au voyage".
