Most Interesting Feature

blue coloured. Betweem them prevails white colour
which gives the painting a more bright effect. These
colors evoke calmness, peace and mystery.
Artist's Experiences
 The artist might have been troubled from his everyday life. Night
makes these problems come to light which is why the painting is full
of dark colours and swirling shapes. From the viewer's point of view it
is a beautiful landscape which gives him the incentive to observe it
more than once.
