Musically, Toulouse is one of the two controversial, disputed birthplaces of [[Carlos Gardel]] (1890–1935) (the other being [[Tacuarembo]], [[Uruguay]]), probably the most prominent figure in the [[history of the tango]].

The composer and organist [[Georges Guiraud]] (1868–1928) and songwriter [[Jain (singer)|Jain]] (b. 1992) were born in Toulouse.

Concerning arts, Toulouse is the birthplace of Impressionist painter [[Henri-Jean Guillaume Martin|Henri Martin]] (1860–1943) as well as sculptors [[Alexandre Falguière]] (1831–1900), [[Antonin Mercié]] (1845–1916) and illustrator [[Edmund Dulac]] (1882–1953). Moreover, [[Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres]] (1780–1867) and [[Antoine Bourdelle]] (1861–1929) were trained at the Toulouse fine arts school. Post Impressionist painter [[Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec]]'s (1864–1901) father was Count Alphonse Charles de Toulouse-Lautrec Monfa (1838–1913) and was part of an aristocratic family of Counts of Toulouse, Odet de Foix, Vimcomte de Lautrec and the Viscounts of Montfa.
