      Bal du moulin de la Galette by Pierre-Auguste Renoir

      Look at the crowd in this picture! How many people can you count? They are all outside in a dance garden in Paris, enjoying the sunny weather. The dance is taking place at the Moulin de la Galette, which means ‘the pancake windmill’. Everyone looks like they are happy and having fun.

      The artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir was French. He often showed the everyday lives of the French people, like in this painting.

      Cafe Terrace at Night by Vincent van Gogh

      It was a balmy, late-summer evening when the artist Vincent van Gogh painted this terrace of a popular cafe. Can you spot the horse and carriage in the background? The people in the picture are very small, since we only see them from far away. Yet the stars in the evening sky seem to be enormous and to out-sparkle each other.
