Bal du moulin de la Galette, best known as "Dance at the Moulin de la Galette," is a pinting from 1876 by the French artist Pierre Auguste Renoir. The Moulin de la Galette in Montmartre used to held a popular open-air dance every Sunday, which lasted from the early afternoon until midnight. That event, and its lively and happy environment, was captured by Renoir in this oil on canvas, in which he included some of his friends. The painting became one of the most famous pieces by the artist and was part of the Impressionist exhibition in 1877.
