About the piece

Painted in 1801 by Ján Jakub Müller, this tempera on paper work captures the essence of the European Romantic movement. The composition contrasts the vast, shadow-filled silhouette of a rugged hill against the luminous glow of a full moon, while tiny details like a flickering campfire and wandering shepherds add a sense of narrative mystery to the quiet night.
