About the piece

Painted in 1861 by Antoine Vollon, this evocative work captures the Moulin de la Galette in Montmartre. The artist uses a rich, dark palette and expressive brushwork to create a sense of movement in the sky and solid presence in the wooden structure of the mill, reflecting the atmospheric realism of the mid-19th century French school.
