Summer Night 1894

"Summer Night" (1894) by Swedish artist Elin Danielson-Gambogi is a captivating oil on canvas depicting a tranquil summer evening landscape. The painting's soft hues, characterized by subtle shades of blue, green, and pink, capture the ethereal glow of twilight. The moon, casting a gentle light on the water's surface, adds a dreamy atmosphere. The reflection of the moon in the still water and the distant cottages create a sense of peace and serenity. The artist's impressionistic style, with visible brushstrokes and delicate detail, evokes a feeling of harmony and tranquility. The small scale of the work (24.5 x 18.5 cm) further enhances the intimate and contemplative nature of the scene.
