The Boat Trip: Night Voyage or Net Fishing (second version) is a 1861 by Charles François Daubigny, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a small boat on dark water at night. A single lantern glows on the boat, lighting the nets being pulled up. The water is almost black except where the lantern catches the nets and the man’s hands. Daubigny often painted rivers at night. He used light in a new way—just one small source—to show the scene without bright daylight. If you like this, check out Charles François Daubigny (French, 1817–1878).
