About the piece

Painted in 1884 by Peder Severin Krøyer, this masterpiece of the Skagen school captures the quiet industry of Danish night fishing. The composition is bathed in the ethereal 'blue hour' light for which the artist is famous, contrasting the sturdy silhouettes of the fishermen with the shimmering reflection of the moon on the water.
