Here's my contribution for today:

Bal du moulin de la Galette (I think that's French--Bal means ball or dance, and moulin means windmill, and Galette is in the renowned Montmartre district of France) by Pierre-Auguste Renoir:

Galette is a form of cake in French and that seems to be what the windmill takes its name after.

The info on Wikipedia

I love the romantic/impressionist painters, especially the French. Something about their subject matter is just so melancholic, but in a good way, and mildly pleasant, without bashing you over the head at all. I feel like they tell the stories of people's lives at that time, and revel in both the joys and the realities.
