Moonlight in the Harbor at Dieppe is a 1885 ink by Henri-Charles Guérard, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This painting shows a dark, moonlit harbor filled with boats. The water is rough, with swirling lines reflecting the pale light. Tall masts rise against a cloudy sky, and a single bright moon hangs above, casting a faint glow. The artist used a mix of dark tones to create mood, with the moon as the only real light source. This style was common in Romanticism, where nature and emotion took center stage. Want to see more? Check out the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
