About the piece
This evocative oil painting by Joseph Wright of Derby, dated circa 1780, depicts a tranquil lake scene bathed in silvery moonlight. The composition uses dramatic light and shadow to highlight a solitary boat on the water and a figure on the wooded shore, set against a backdrop of distant mountains. The work is a prime example of the artist's fascination with lighting effects.
