Om maleriet
Dance in the City is a painting created by the French artist Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Completed in 1883, the artwork is currently housed in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay. The dancers depicted in the painting are Suzanne Valadon, a model and artist, and Paul Auguste Lhôte, a friend of Renoir.
This particular artwork, along with its companion pieces Dance in the Country and Dance at Bougival, was commissioned by the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel. All three paintings were executed in 1883 and feature two individuals dancing in different settings. While Aline Charigot, who later became Renoir's wife, modeled for the woman in Dance in the Country, Suzanne Valadon is the model for Dance in the City.

Hele livet1881
Algeria, Madrid, Italy
Renoir traveled to Algeria, the land of Delacroix, then to Madrid to see the works of Velázquez, and to Italy, where he saw Titian in Florence and Raphael in Rome. The journey convinced him that with Impressionism he had "reached the limit," and turned him toward classicism.

1883–1890
The "Ingres" period
Impressed by the classics of the Italian Renaissance and by Ingres, Renoir effectively broke with Impressionism: his lines became crisp, his colors more restrained and cooler. The artist himself called this period "sour"; it includes "Dance in the Country," "Dance in the City" and "Dance at Bougival."
