Renoir - Moulin de la Galette Framed Canvas

Renoir found delight in the people of Paris. The Moulin de la Galette near the top of Montmartre was quite a popular place of entertainment and Renoir's picture of this Sunday afternoon is one of his happiest compositions. In the then still-rural Montmartre, the Moulin, called `de la Galette' from the pancake which was its specialty, had a local clientele. Typically, light is the subject in Impressionist composition. In Moulin De La Galette, Renoir seems to welcome the opportunity to make human beings, and especially women, the main components of picture. The girl in the striped dress in the middle is thought to be Estelle, the sister of Renoir's model, Jeanne. Another of Renoir's models, Margot, is seen to the left dancing with the Cuban painter, Cardenas. At the table in the foreground to the right include other friends of Renoir. Renoir took great pleasure in capturing some aspect of daily life on canvas. Our canvas fine art replicas surpass most reproductions available in the market today.
