About MeTheo van Rijsselberghe (1826-1926) was a Belgian painter who was a founder member of Les XX in 1883. He moved to France and as well as being a friend of Seurat, who influenced his early work, was intimate with other Impressionists such as Pissarro and the Nabis artists including Vuillard.

Edouard Vuillard was a printer and printmaker. In common with the fellow members of the Nabis group such as Denis, Roussel and Bonnard he made posters and prints, often in colour using lithography. The style of his work is characterised by strongly patterned areas of colour applied with little perspective. After 1900 he developed as an Intimiste artist, painting intimate interiors.
