Vintimille Square (frontispiece) from Tombeau de Èdouard Vuillard

French painter and printmaker Edouard Vuillard was an important member of Les Nabis, a group of Post-Impressionists influential at the end of the 19th-century. Born in 1868, Vuillard trained in Paris at various institutions including the Lycée Julian and the École des Beaux Arts, to which he was eventually admitted after three unsuccessful attempts to gain entrance. He traveled extensively around Europe before exhibiting at his first Salon des Independents in 1901, which signaled the launch of his career and those of Les Nabis painters.
