Majnatt 1895

"Majnatt" (meaning "Moonlight" in Swedish) is a painting by Swedish artist Eugène Jansson, created in 1895. The painting captures a serene and atmospheric scene of a coastline bathed in the soft glow of twilight. The artist utilizes a delicate palette of blues, purples, and browns to convey the gentle transition from day to night. The water, reflecting the light of the sky, is rendered with subtle brushstrokes, creating a sense of tranquility. The faint lights along the shore add a touch of human presence to the otherwise serene landscape. This painting is a fine example of Jansson's signature style, which often focused on capturing the beauty of nature and the nuances of light.
