Moonlight, St. Lawrence by Cornelius Krieghoff is a compelling marine scene that captures the haunting beauty of ships illuminated by a moonlit sky, set against the dramatic backdrop of the sea. Known primarily for his depictions of Canadian landscapes and Indigenous life, Krieghoff was a Dutch-Canadian painter who immigrated to Canada in the 1840s. His work often reflected the ruggedness and serenity of the Canadian wilderness, making him one of the most significant painters in Canadian art history.
