Allington Castle, near Maidstone, Kent. Moonlight is a 1825 watercolor by James Baynes, a Romanticism work, depicting Moonlight, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
In the painting, a castle is situated on the right side of a river, surrounded by trees and bushes. The sky is cloudy, and the moon shines brightly, casting a reflection on the water. The castle's walls are high and rugged, with some sections appearing to be in ruins. The artist has used a range of colors to depict the scene, from the dark blues and greens of the trees and water to the lighter tones of the castle walls and the moon. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility, with the moonlight casting a peaceful glow over the entire scene.
