Original – The painting depicts an ordinary subject, a moment in the garden of the Moulin de la Galette- an afternoon when people gathered to dance, amuse themselves and have a good time - an impressionist snapshot of real life painted with visible brush strokes.

Reason
The picture is one of Impressionism's most celebrated masterpieces. The Impressionist approach to painting is usually identified with a strong concern for light in its changing qualities, often with an emphasis on the effects of a particular passage of time.

  • Oppose Alt - I am sorry, but I am pretty sure that the colours are all wrong in Alt 1. It is not how this picture looks at all... because it looks like here and here. Alt2 has right colours but even less pixels then original, original has 2,200 × 1,639 while Alt 2 has only 1,740 × 1,293 pixels. I don't mind an alt, but it has to have the right colours.

  • This gets you into the Musée d'Orsay at Ph.D. level in Google's virtual tour. It's in room 32, fifth floor, two rooms to the left of this location. I must say it looks absolutely stunning under the lights (there's also an overhead vault letting in daylight). That remark of mine about gaslights obviously stupid. It seems the naughty French of those days held their dances in the afternoon. It seems plain that the Google Art Project image simply looks too dark, but that image is uniform across all the Musée d'Orsay pages featuring this painting that I've seen. I'm really not prepared to mess with it as a "Featured" nomination. Others may feel differently, but please don't vote for my tinkered version! And I'm sticking with the Google Art Project image, although I do agree there's an issue there. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 17:52, 21 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
