Sobre a pintura
Karl Adloff (1819-1853) was born and died in Düsseldorf, where he seems to have spent his entire life. He specialised in landscape paintings, especially in sea-views. Unfortunately, very little is known of his life.

This painting is a fine example of Adloff's output which essentially includes landscape paintings and sea-views in which his depiction of light infuses the compositions with a sense of calm. This work, which depicts a sea view with figures with moonlight effect, was clearly inspired by the oeuvre of the Dutch painter Aert van der Neer who together with a few colleagues in Amsterdam and Haarlem developed the new genre of nocturne landscapes. Such paintings in particular and 17th-century Dutch compositions in general aroused a new interest in the 19th century, especially in Germany and Austria where artists produced similar scenes in a very neat and highly detailed finish, which contrasts with the broad manner of their predecessors.
