A Park at Night 1895

"A Park at Night" (1895) by Hungarian artist Jozsef Rippl-Ronai, now in the Musée d'Orsay, captures the ambiance of a moonless night in a park. The painting is dominated by a deep blue-green hue, reflecting the darkness of the night sky. The artist depicts a row of trees silhouetted against the dark background, their pale trunks highlighted by the soft glow of streetlights. The minimalist composition and muted palette create a serene and atmospheric scene, inviting viewers to contemplate the quiet solitude of a park after dark.
