“Moonrise at Sunset” is a landscape artwork created by Childe Hassam in 1892, embodying the Impressionism art movement.
The artwork beautifully encapsulates the serene meeting of the moon and the setting sun on the horizon. The sky is adorned with delicate hues transitioning from soft blues to pastel greens and purples, enriching the tranquil ambiance. The moon, highlighted in a subtle yet radiant yellow, reflects its glow on the still waters below, creating an atmospheric pathway of light. The clouds, depicted with gentle, fluid brushstrokes, add depth and a dreamy texture to the scene. This masterful play of light and color captures a fleeting yet timeless moment in nature, emphasizing the ephemeral beauty central to the Impressionist ethos.
