About the piece

Created in 1840 by Norwegian master Johan Christian Dahl, this evocative nocturnal landscape depicts the harbor of Swinoujscie. The work is defined by the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, with the moon casting a luminous glow through layered clouds and reflecting on the still water. Silhouetted against the night sky, a windmill and distant church steeples ground the composition, offering a timeless view of European maritime life.
