Matisse was born in Le Cateau-Cambrésis, in the Nord department
in Northern France, the oldest son of a wealthy grain merchant.
He grew up in Bohain-en-Vermandois, Picardie, France. In 1887,
he went to Paris to study law, working as a court administrator
in Le Cateau-Cambrésis after gaining his qualification. He first
started painting 1889, after his mother brought him art supplies
during a period of convalescence following an attack of appendicitis.
He discovered "a kind of paradise" as he later described it, and
decided to become an artist, deeply disappointing his father.
