River Landscape by Moonlight. The Antwerp landscape and genre painter Regemorter was a student and later a professor at the academy in his hometown and he also worked as a restorer. He was particularly brilliant in a moonlight landscape, as can also be seen in the atmospheric night landscape presented here. The artist was able to capture the nocturnal atmosphere convincingly.Over a wide river, the moon stands just above the horizon and illuminates the clouds, the water, and the landscape with its silvery light. This light source is in the center of the picture above the vanishing point of perspective, making the moon the rest point and center of the whole composition. In the foreground to the left of the center a group, two men, two women, and a child, surrounds a fire over which a kettle is hung for cooking. On the right, trees line the bank on its way, a rider comes towards the viewer. In the house on the right edge of the picture, a blacksmith is at work in the reddish glow. The activities indicate that morning is just around the corner. Oil on wood, 50.5 x 75 cm
