About this work

Artist: Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919)
Year: 1876
Medium: Oil on canvas
Original size: 131 × 175 cm
Collection: Musée d'Orsay, Paris
Movement: Impressionism

A Sunday afternoon dance in the garden of the Moulin de la Galette, an open-air dance hall on the hill of Montmartre, with couples waltzing under the acacias, a group of young men and women chatting at a table in the foreground and sunlight falling through the leaves in patches on the dancers' clothes. Renoir painted it in 1876, close to the spot; he rented a studio nearby and his friends posed for the figures. The dappled light, which some critics at the 1877 Impressionist exhibition took for stains, is the whole subject. The canvas was bought by Caillebotte, bequeathed to the French state in 1894 and is in the Musée d'Orsay. A smaller version painted at the same time is in a private collection.

This print reproduces the whole work, uncropped, from a high-resolution scan of the original. The original is in the public domain.

Is this the whole painting, or a crop?

The whole work, uncropped. The image fills the print at the painting's own proportions; nothing is trimmed to fit a frame.

Is Bal du moulin de la Galette in the public domain?

Yes. Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841–1919) died more than 70 years ago and the work was published before 1929, so the painting itself is public domain. This print is a reproduction made from a high-resolution scan of the original, which is held by Musée d'Orsay.

What is it printed on?

Heavyweight matte fine-art paper with pigment inks, made to order in 12×18, 16×24 and 24×36 inches; the two larger sizes are also offered framed. Colours are matched to the scan, not brightened.

When was Bal du moulin de la Galette painted, and in what medium?

Bal du moulin de la Galette dates from 1876 and was made in oil on canvas; the original measures 131 × 175 cm.

What size works above a sofa or bed?

For a standard three-seat sofa or a queen bed, 24×36 inches reads as a single statement piece; 16×24 suits a narrower wall or a pairing. The print's proportions follow the original, so a landscape-format painting is wider than it is tall.
