Nocturne (blue and gold)

Date: 19th century
Medium: oil on canvas
Location: National Museum Wales

The painting depicts a view of a lively market scene with architecture reminiscent of medieval or Renaissance Europe. We see arched passages and domed roofs tinged with warm colours. The lighting of the picture gives a blurred impression and the impression of having been rendered at dusk or in the evening. The figures of people are visible, but they are captured only in hints and form part of an indistinct crowd scene. The atmosphere of the picture is shrouded in mystery and nostalgia.
