This work by Claude Monet is a significant example of his approach to landscape painting, particularly in nocturnal and marine contexts.

Painted around 1864, it dates back to a period when Monet was still defining his style, but was already showing an interest in the rendering of light and its variations, elements that would become central to Impressionism.

The painting depicts a nighttime marine scene, with one or more boats sailing under the moonlight. Monet focuses on the representation of light effects: the moon, although not depicted with excessive precision, casts silvery reflections on the rippling surface of the water, creating a play of light and shade and flashes. The atmosphere is rendered through brushstrokes that suggest the movement of the water and the ethereal quality of the night light.

This work represents an initial but crucial phase in Monet's artistic journey, where the direct observation of nature and the desire to portray the moment were already clearly evident.
