Pierre-Auguste Renoir's 1876 painting Le Moulin de la Galette is an early French impressionist painting, now located at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris. The painting depicts a convivial scene of people mingling at the Moulin de la Galette, an outdoor dance hall in a working-class neighborhood. Painted only five years after the first Impressionist show, the painting features the free brushstrokes and play of light that characterized Impressionism.

Auguste Rodin, The Gates of Hell​, 1880-1917, plaster (Musée d'Orsay, Paris) Speakers: Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker When the building, earlier on the site of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, was destroyed by fire during the Commune in 1871, plans were drawn up to replace it with a museum of decorative arts. Rodin won the competition to design a great set of doors for its entry way. Although the museum was never built, Rodin continued to work on the doors. They became an ongoing project; a grand stage for his sculptural ideas. It's fitting that the plaster of this great unfinished sculpture, The Gates of Hell, is now on display at the d'Orsay, the former railway terminal that was built on this site instead of the museum of decorative arts and that, by lovely coincidence, was converted into one of the world's great art museums.
