Oil on canvas, 131 × 175 cm, painted by Renoir in 1876. A Sunday
afternoon dance at the Moulin de la Galette, a windmill turned dance
hall at the top of Montmartre. Renoir rented a room nearby so he could
paint the scene from life over several months, catching the sunlight
filtered through the leaves and dropped in patches over dresses and
faces. It hangs in the Musée d’Orsay.
