About the piece

Created in 1908 by Belgian artist Léon Spilliaert, this evocative watercolor and colored pencil work captures the eerie silence of the Ostend coast at night. A luminous moon hangs over a dark, geometric horizon, punctuated by the faint glow of lampposts and the mysterious silhouette of a coastal structure, showcasing Spilliaert's unique blend of Symbolism and Expressionism.
