About the piece

Painted around 1816 by John Crome, this atmospheric work depicts a quiet night on the River Yare. The composition is defined by the brilliant reflection of the moon in the water, silhouetting a windmill against a dramatic sky and flanked by the heavy, painterly forms of ancient trees.
