More about this artwork

"An August Night, 1898" by Alfred William Finch is a vivid and texture-rich painting that captures the essence of a serene, late-summer evening. The work utilizes a pointillist style, characterized by the application of small, distinct dots of color that are applied in patterns to form an image.The scene depicts a rural landscape at nighttime, illuminated by a crescent moon hanging in the sky. A series of haystacks or sheaves of harvested grain are strategically placed in the foreground, portrayed with light purple and white hues that suggest the reflection of moonlight. The haystacks are corralled within a fence, signifying a cultivated farmland environment.Dominating the middle of the canvas is a massive, dark tree cluster which provides a strong visual and color contrast to the lighter fields in front. These trees appear almost black with hints of deep green and purple, absorbing much of the dim light while also enhancing the nocturnal atmosphere of the painting.The sky is rendered with swirling strokes of blue and white, interspersed with pinks and hints of yellow, evoking a dynamic, flowing texture that captures the transient beauty of a twilight sky.

Alfred William Finch (1854-1930) was a Neo-Impressionist artist born to British parents in Brussels, Belgium. His works utilized the color palette and Pointillism technique, which were shared by other significant figures of the Neo-Impressionism movement, including Paul Signac, Camille Pissarro, and Georges Seurat. Finch was among the founding members of Les XX (Les Vingt), a group of twenty artists based in Brussels that challenged antiquated and conservative artistic traditions and academism. The group held annual art exhibitions, greatly influencing the development of Neo-Impressionism. In his later years, Alfred William Finch also produced ceramics and pottery, decorated with a fusion of his familiar Neo-Impressionism, Arts and Crafts, and Belgian Art Nouveau styles. His artworks primarily portray the atmospheric beauty of nature and the countryside along the Channel coast. Alfred William Finch spent the majority of his artistic career in Helsinki, where he passed away in 1930.
