This piece explores the otherworldly beauty of night landscapes, creating an atmosphere of longing and solitude. Also similar in style to Caspar David Friedrich's pieces and the German Romanticism, the juxtaposition between the moon, stars and looming darkness enhances the mysticism of this unreachable scene. Furthermore details such as the trees in the front, emphasize the distance between the landscape portrayed and the viewer, inducing an underlying melancholy due to the longing for the unknown.
