Die Mühle bei Eschersheim im Mondschein 1805

Anton Radl's 1805 watercolor "Die Mühle bei Eschersheim im Mondschein" depicts a tranquil moonlit scene. The painting, currently housed in the Städel Museum, features a village nestled beside a meandering stream. The soft glow of the moon bathes the landscape in a serene light, highlighting the delicate details of foliage and the gentle reflections of the clouds in the water. This romantic portrayal of a rural scene reflects the growing appreciation for nature and idyllic landscapes prevalent in the early 19th century.
