About the piece
Painted in 1821, this atmospheric nocturne by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg showcases the Danish Golden Age master's precision. The composition centers on silhouetted sailboats and figures at a harbor's edge, illuminated by the soft, silvery glow of a full moon reflecting on the calm water.
