Moonlight

Imitator of Ralph Albert Blakelock

National Gallery of Art

This painting shows a slightly elevated viewpoint looking out across a vivid green landscape towards a reflective body of water. In the bright green sky, the vibrant yellow moon or sun glows brightly, illuminating the scene. At the top of the painting, green and yellow clouds float across the sky. The moonlight reflects off the water, creating a bright yellow pathway at the bottom of the painting. There are the dark silhouettes of trees and bushes on the left and right sides, and in the distance, the flat green landscape fades into the glowing green atmosphere.
