More about this artwork
"Mondnacht," a unique 1942 painting by artist Karl Wiener, evokes the tranquil essence of a moonlit night. This artwork, minimal yet evocative, captures the ethereal beauty of a nocturnal scene. The focal point is a moon, rendered in warm yellow, casting a gentle glow that highlights minimal elements of the dark, silhouetted landscape.Dominating the composition are the outlines of steep rooftops and a chimney, their shapes casting an interplay of shadows and forms against the night sky. A single window, illuminated from within, offers a glimpse of life and warmth, contrasting with the otherwise cool and dark tones of the scene. Above, the deep blue sky is dotted with a smattering of stars, further emphasizing the quietude and depth of the night.Karl Wiener's "Mondnacht" invites viewers into a moment of stillness and reflection, amidst a world that seems paused and hushed under the moon's soft watch.
