About the piece

Painted in 1826 by Bartholomeus van Hove, this oil on panel depicts a serene Dutch canal scene at night. The composition is masterfully anchored by a stone bridge and a tall church spire, all illuminated by a luminous full moon that breaks through dramatic, swirling clouds to reflect on the water's surface.
