More about this artwork

"Seestück bei Mondbeleuchtung" (ca. 1840) by Adalbert Stifter captures a serene and haunting night seascape bathed in moonlight. The painting presents a somber, yet magnetically compelling vision of nature where the moon's soft glow gently illuminates the sea and the sky. Central to the composition is the majestic moon, its light reflecting off the water, creating a path that leads the viewer's eye into the horizon.A solitary boat with its sail gently catching the lunar light is depicted on the calm sea, emphasizing the quietude and stillness of the moment. Occupying the edges of the scene are faint silhouettes of crumbling ruins on the shoreline, adding an element of mystery and the passage of time to the landscape.The dimly lit sky, swirling with moody clouds, frames the moon, creating an atmospheric effect that is both tranquil and brooding. Stifter's use of dark, subdued hues and fine brushstrokes evokes the texture of the night, making the scene feel lifelike yet ethereal.This remarkable work not only showcases Stifter's skill as a painter but also elegantly conveys the reflective calm and poignant beauty of a moonlit seascape.

Adalbert Stifter (1805–1868) was an Austrian writer, poet, painter and pedagogue. Born in Oberplan, Bohemia (now Horní Planá, Czech Republic), he was the eldest son of a wealthy linen weaver. Better known as a writer, Stifter was able to convey vivid and engaging landscapes in both his writing and painting. At the end of his life, exhausted by physical and mental illnesses, the artist died of suicide.
