Moonlit Riverscape

Dominant colour
Moonlit Riverscape is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This black-and-white photo shows a quiet river at night. Two small boats sit still in the water, their shapes dark against the moonlit surface. On the left bank, a few trees and a couple of buildings with slanted roofs stand under the pale glow of the moon. The moon itself is bright but soft, lighting up the clouds above. The scene feels peaceful, like time has slowed down. If you like this calm night view, check out *chiaroscuro* for more dramatic light-and-dark effects.
