- Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was a French painter, recognized as one of the great artists of the 20th century alongside Pablo Picasso. Born in Cateau Cambrésis, Matisse began painting during a convalescence in 1890 and decided to become a visual artist, despite his parents' opposition. He studied at the Julian School and the School of Fine Arts in Paris, where he took classes from 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 a representation of the violence of emotions. His work is based on simplification, stylization, and synthesis.

Regarding the valuation of his works, purchase prices range from 150,000 to 300,000 euros for a Matisse painting from the dawn of Fauvism, while Fauvist canvases and Orientalist portraits from the 1920s and 1930s reach prices between 1 and 5 million euros.

In 1952, Matisse created the 'Nu Bleu' series. Comprising four works, these pieces were made from gouache papers in blue, then cut out and glued onto clear paper marouflé on canvas. Each work depicts a nude woman sitting with her right arm raised behind her head. This series is one of Matisse's most famous and reflects his mastery in the use of color and form.
