From the mid-19th century, the new organization of working time would contribute to the advent of leisure. Paris and its region became the figurehead of this change in France and Europe. This phenomenon marked the heyday of Impressionism, but it was the artists of the following generation, belonging to this "Belle Époque" (1890-1914), who experienced a true turning point in the expression of modernity in painting. Leisure and entertainment, day and night, developed in all registers, constantly attracting a growing audience of varied social origins. Boating, skating, horse racing, circuses, cabarets, theaters and music halls were all subjects painted by many artists: Anquetin, Bonnard, Dufy, Pourtau, Roussel, Toulouse-Lautrec, Vallotton but also Abel-Truchet, Chabaud, Ibels or Albert André.
