About the piece
Painted in 1839 by Martinus Rørbye, a leading figure of the Danish Golden Age, this work masterfully captures the stillness of a moonlit night. The composition uses dramatic silhouettes of figures and sailboats to frame the luminous reflection of the moon on the water, offering a quiet, contemplative view of the Copenhagen ramparts.
