| Summary |
Renoir's most popular painting is often referred to as the most beautiful painting of the 19th century and is loved around the world for its joie de vivre. It is an emblem of the Impressionist movement, and has become one of the world's most reproduced works of art. Painted by Auguste Renoir in 1876, it depicts a lively Sunday afternoon at the Moulin de la Galette dance hall in Montmartre. But, as this program reveals, though the painting has a celebratory tone, Paris was then still recovering from its most bloody and turbulent time, and the Moulin de la Galette dance hall had been the centre of it all |
