Fisherman in the Moonlight is a 1902 oil by Charles Mertens, held at Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
This painting shows a fisherman in a boat, sitting in the moonlight. The fisherman is wearing a hat and a dark shirt, and he's holding a long pole. The boat is old and wooden, and it's floating on calm water. The moon is shining down on the fisherman, casting a silver glow over everything. The painting is done in dark colors, with shades of blue and green. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the painting a sense of movement and energy. The painting is held at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.
Charles Mertens, Karel Jozef Mertens or Karel Mertens (Antwerp, 14 April 1865 – Calverley, England, 20 February 1919) was a Belgian draughtsman, painter, muralist, etcher and illustrator.
