About this work

This painting shows a nighttime scene of Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. The castle is on the right, with a bridge crossing the water in front of it. A small boat is in the water, with a person standing in it. The sky is dark blue, with the moon shining brightly. The painting has a lot of dark colors, but the moonlight reflects off the water, making it look shiny. The castle and bridge are also lit up a bit, so you can see their shapes. If you like this painting, you might also like the work of artist Henryk Cieszkowski.
