About the piece
Painted in 1787 by Jens Juel, this atmospheric work depicts the ferry crossing over the Little Belt at Snoghøj. A luminous full moon serves as the focal point, casting a soft glow over the travelers, horses, and vessels settled into the stillness of a coastal night. It is an exquisite example of late 18th-century landscape painting, blending technical precision with romantic mood.
