About the piece
Painted in 1876, Pierre-Auguste Renoir's masterpiece is a celebration of Parisian social life in the late 19th century. Located in Montmartre, the 'Moulin de la Galette' was a popular open-air dance hall; here, Renoir captures his friends and fellow artists amidst a sea of light and movement, utilizing a revolutionary palette to depict the flickering effect of sunlight through the trees.
