A riverside balcony at the Maison Fournaise, a table of wine and fruit, and a circle of Renoir's friends: this guide reads the painting's subject, its tightly composed blend of portraiture, still life and landscape, and the questions its identified cast still raises.
Renoir's 1876 canvas shows a Sunday afternoon dance in the garden of the Moulin de la Galette in Montmartre, painted as a living crowd of dancers, drinkers and quiet companions under dappled light. This tour explains the subject first, then follows how the brushwork, the foreground group and the lamp-lit setting make that scene legible.
