Moonrise in the Andilly Valley is a 1845 by Charles François Daubigny, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a serene landscape at dusk. The moon rises over a valley, casting a soft glow on the trees and grass. In the foreground, a few trees stand tall, their branches stretching towards the sky. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The moon's gentle light illuminates the scene, while the shadows add a sense of mystery and quiet contemplation.
