A Waterfall, Moonlight 1885 - 1886

"A Waterfall, Moonlight" (1885-1886) by Ralph Blakelock depicts a serene nighttime scene, where a waterfall cascades down a rocky ledge into a pool of water. The dark, silhouetted trees and foliage create a sense of mystery and tranquility, while the moonlight illuminates the water's surface, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the landscape. The artist's signature style of using a limited color palette and thick brushstrokes further enhances the dreamlike and atmospheric quality of the painting, making it a captivating example of Blakelock's signature style.
