Midnight

Jean-Charles Cazin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Painting of a canal scene at night, titled "Midnight" by Jean-Charles Cazin. The scene depicts a canal with calm, reflective water. Buildings line both sides of the canal; the ones on the right are larger and more prominent. The building closest to the foreground on the right has a small wooden dock and gazebo-like structure. The buildings are old, made of stone and brick, with chimneys and steeply pitched roofs. Some buildings have shutters on their windows. The sky above is dark, almost black, with a few visible stars. The overall color palette is muted, with earth tones dominating. The atmosphere is serene and peaceful, capturing a quiet nighttime moment.
