“Homage to Toulouse-Lautrec” is a guitar composition by Spanish composer and guitarist Eduardo Sainz de la Maza (Burgos, 1903 – Barcelona, 1982), written in 1967. This work pays tribute to the French painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, capturing in music the essence of his art and the bohemian atmosphere of late 19th-century Paris.

The piece reflects the influence of Impressionism and jazz—styles that Sainz de la Maza incorporated into his musical language. With a free structure and a rich harmonic palette, the work demands a special sensitivity from the performer to express its nuances and colors. The use of complex chords and subtle rhythms evokes the vibrant and sometimes melancholic scenes that define Toulouse-Lautrec’s paintings.

Homage to Toulouse-Lautrec is considered a standout piece in the 20th-century guitar repertoire, offering both performers and listeners a profound experience that bridges music and the visual arts.
