BAL DU MOULIN DE LA GALETTE

Bal du Moulin de la Galette (1876) by Pierre Auguste Renoir
Like many of his fellow Impressionist painters, many scenes Pierre Auguste Renoir painted were influenced from living and working in the Montmartre area of Paris. This painting, which hangs in the Musée d'Orsay, is one of his most important early Impressionist works. Several of Renoir's friends appear in the painting which portrays Parisians enjoying themselves in this popular dance garden in Montmartre.

Thank you for visiting.
