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 19th
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.
