Moulin de la Galette, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec

Moulin de la Galette

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, 1889

With this painting of the dance hall known as the Moulin de la Galette, Toulouse-Lautrec established his reputation as the chronicler of the Montmartre district’s famed nightlife. A wooden barrier bisects the composition, dividing the frenzied action of the dance floor in the background from the stillness of the women waiting in the foreground.
