# Ball at the Moulin de la Galette [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TOULOUSE-LAUTREC, Henri de]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 89 x 101 cm ## Commentary Lautrec often visited the Moulin de la Galette and painted a number of pictures there. The venue was popular both with the poorer sections of Montmartre and with the artists and bohemians. Markedly erotic and therefore offensive to respectable society were the evening dances, which brought out the police - visible in the right-hand background of the picture. In the right foreground is the picture's original owner, the landscape painter and friend of Lautrec, Joseph Albert \(c. 1865-1928\). ## Related artworks - [A Corner of the Moulin de la Galette]() - [Admiral Viaud]() - [After the Meal]() - [Alfred la Guigne]() - [Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant]() - [Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant]() - [An Examination at the Faculty of Medicine in Paris]() - [At the Circus: Horse and Monkes Dressage]() - [At the Moulin Rouge: La Goulue and her Sister]() - [At the Moulin Rouge or The Promenade]() - [At the Moulin Rouge]() - [At the Moulin Rouge]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
