Winter Scene in Moonlight 1869

Henry Farrer's "Winter Scene in Moonlight" (1869) depicts a serene winter landscape bathed in the ethereal glow of moonlight. The painting showcases Farrer's meticulous attention to detail, evident in the delicate brushstrokes that capture the subtle variations of color and texture in the snow-covered ground, the distant hills, and the stark branches of the trees. The luminous moon dominates the sky, casting long, soft shadows across the scene, creating a tranquil and contemplative atmosphere. The work exemplifies Farrer's interest in depicting the beauty of nature, particularly in its more subdued and introspective moments. The painting is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
