The moon illuminates everything around during its reign in heaven. The canvas impresses with its vitality and naturalness. Here you can feel the harmony of the sea and man. And the moon, which indicates the correct path, runs its rays over the waves. Damn landmarks.

Poetically recreated images of the sea and the moon fascinate and attract to themselves. The expressiveness achieved through clarity and saturation leaves no one indifferent.
Listening carefully, you can distinguish the quiet sound of the waves, the blows of oars on the water, feel the gentle whiff of the sea breeze and feel the tranquility of the sleeping city, which the artist depicted in the background. Which once again proves how realistic the picture is and full of life.
