1880
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Nocturne: Salute is a 1880 by James McNeill Whistler, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene nighttime scene, with a large building in the center and smaller structures to its left. The sky above is dark, with subtle gradations of tone that suggest a moonlit night. In the foreground, the water's surface is calm, reflecting the lights of the buildings. The artist has used a range of dark blues and grays to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the work a sense of texture and spontaneity. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artists who explored the effects of light and atmosphere in their paintings.
