A Ball at the Moulin de la Galette 1889

"A Ball at the Moulin de la Galette" is a painting by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, completed in 1889. The artwork is a depiction of the famous Parisian dancehall, the Moulin de la Galette, and features a scene of lively socializing. Lautrec's signature use of flat, vibrant color and simplified forms create a sense of movement and energy, capturing the spirit of the Parisian nightlife. The work is considered a prime example of Post-Impressionism, a style that sought to express subjective experience and emotion through bold brushstrokes and distorted perspectives.
