About the piece
Painted in 1916, 'La Ronde de nuit en avion' (The Night Patrol by Airplane) is a masterful example of atmospheric tonalism. The work depicts a nighttime aerial patrol over a sprawling city, where the silhouette of an early aircraft is set against heavy, moon-drenched clouds and the sharp beams of searchlights. The deep, moody palette and dramatic lighting create a compelling sense of mystery and history.
