A Moonlit Harbor is a 1894 ink by Norbert Goeneutte, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting depicts a serene harbor scene under the soft glow of a full moon. The dark silhouette of a ship dominates the center, while another vessel is partially visible to the right. The water's surface reflects the moonlight, creating a sense of calm. In the foreground, a few poles rise from the water, adding depth to the composition. The overall atmosphere is one of peacefulness, with the moon casting a gentle light on the scene. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a striking contrast between light and dark, drawing the viewer's eye to the central ship.
Norbert Goeneutte (23 July 1854 – 9 October 1894) was a French painter, etcher and illustrator; notably for the novel La Terre by Émile Zola.
