About the piece

Painted around 1665 by Aert van der Neer, this evocative scene showcases the artist's mastery of nocturnal light. Silhouetted vessels drift along a calm river under a dramatic, moonlit sky that casts a warm, golden reflection across the water's surface, creating a sense of profound stillness and Old World elegance.
