Le Moulin de la Galette

Le Moulin de la Galette by Pierre-Auguste Renoir is a painting depicting a typical Sunday afternoon at Moulin de la Galette. In the late 19^th century, working class Parisians would dress up and spend time there dancing, drinking, and eating galettes into the evening. This was becoming a trend for the French working class people and not just the wealthy people. Leisure theme paintings were also becoming popular to artist.
