An August´s Night is a 1900 oil by Alfred William Finch, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting depicts a serene landscape, with a body of water in the foreground and trees in the background. The sky above is a deep blue, with a bright yellow moon shining down. The artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to create a sense of movement and energy in the painting. The water appears to be rippling, and the trees seem to be swaying gently in the breeze. The painting's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer in. For more information on this style of painting, look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
Alfred William (Willy) Finch (1854 –1930) was a ceramist and painter in the pointillist and Neo-Impressionist style. Born in Brussels to British parents, he spent most of his creative life in Finland.
