Landschap bij nacht met volle maan 1658 - 1677

This etching, "Landschap bij nacht met volle maan" (Landscape at Night with Full Moon), was created by Dutch artist Wallerant Vaillant sometime between 1658 and 1677. This small print, measuring just 109 mm in height and 89 mm in width, depicts a nighttime landscape bathed in the light of a full moon, with a building barely visible on the right side of the frame. It is a striking example of the Dutch artist's skill in depicting atmospheric effects, with the moon's glow illuminating the scene and the foreground in soft, subtle detail. The print is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
