Sea at Night is a 1865 oil by Anton Melbye, held at Hermitage Museum.
This painting depicts a nighttime seascape, with a large ship in the center and smaller boats surrounding it. The sky is dark and cloudy, with a hint of sunset or sunrise on the horizon. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, from the deep blues and greens of the sea to the warm oranges and yellows of the sky. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, giving the painting a dynamic and energetic feel.
