"Bal de la Grenouillère" is a lithographic poster created by French artist Henri Gray in 1899. The work is a vibrant example of Belle Époque poster art, a period characterized by optimism, regional peace, economic prosperity, and technological, scientific, and cultural innovations in Europe. Henri Gray, the pseudonym of Henri Boulanger, was an illustrator active during this time, contributing to the rich tradition of French poster art alongside notable contemporaries such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Jules Chéret.

The poster advertises a bal (ball or dance event) at La Grenouillère, a popular leisure spot located on the Seine River near Paris. La Grenouillère was known for its open-air café-concerts, boating, and a floating dance hall, which made it a beloved subject for artists, including Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet, who captured its vibrant atmosphere in their Impressionist paintings.

Gray's "Bal de la Grenouillère" captures the lively spirit of the venue with a dynamic composition that features elegantly dressed figures dancing against a backdrop of the iconic floating establishment. The poster's use of bold colors and fluid lines reflects the exuberance of the era's nightlife and the artistic movement towards modernity. The lithograph is an important piece of cultural history, representing the social and artistic milieu of turn-of-the-century France.

As a work of art, "Bal de la Grenouillère" is significant for its aesthetic qualities and its role in the history of advertising. It exemplifies the way commercial art intersected with fine art during the period, and how posters were not only a means of advertisement but also an art form that was collected and appreciated in its own right. Gray's work remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Belle Époque and its influence on the development of graphic design and visual culture.
