Small Market Square in Krakow at Night is a 1903 oil by Henryk Szczyglinski, depicting Night, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a small market square in Krakow at night. The scene is set in a dark, nighttime environment, with a few buildings and a street visible. The buildings are rendered in muted colors, with some windows lit up, while the street is empty except for a few people standing in the distance. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The dark blues and purples of the night sky contrast with the warm, golden light emanating from the windows of the buildings. The overall effect is one of quiet, nocturnal activity. The painting is held at the National Museum in Kraków. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, look up Henryk Szczyglinski.
