About the piece
Painted in 1854, this evocative moonlit landscape by Johan Jongkind showcases the artist's mastery of atmospheric light. The composition features a full moon reflected in the glassy surface of a canal, set against the dark silhouettes of industrial chimneys and riverside activity, prefiguring the Impressionist movement.
