'Ball at the Moulin de la Galette' - is doubtless Renoir's most important
work of the mid 1870's and was shown at the Impressionist exhibition
in 1877. Though some of his friends appear in the picture, Renoir's main
aim was to convey the vivacious and joyful atmosphere of this popular
dance garden on the Butte Montmartre. - art-Renoir.com

Monet’s spectacular view of the Palazzo Ducale on the Grand Canal belongs to
the extraordinary series he completed in the fall of 1908 in Venice. Painted
from the south-east vantage of a floating pontoon, the scene depicts the Palace,
with its Byzantine fenestrations adorning the façade, alongside the Ponte della
Paglia and the prison building on the right. - art-Monet.com
