About the piece

Painted in 1888 by Carl Locher, a prominent member of the Skagen Painters, this moody seascape exemplifies the group's fascination with light and water. The composition is anchored by the deep, atmospheric blues of the night sky and ocean, punctuated by the luminous glow of the moon and its long reflection dancing on the ripples.
