The Story Behind the Painting

1876
Oil on canvas
51 5/8 x 68 7/8 in. (131 x 175 cm)
Musée d'Orsay, France.

In this painting, Renoir captured a page of history portraying an event in ordinary Parisian life with such rigorous exactitude. The working class crowd frequented dances in open-air caf‘s, amid windmills and gardens, such as this one at Galette. He paints a joyous crowd with laughter, movement and sunshine. It was Renoir‘s intention, however, to catch the effect made by light filtering through the leaves and playing on figures, that were themselves in movement.

Our artists reproduce this figurative composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes portrait oil painting so sought after for a hallway.
