Sailing Vessel in Moonlight: Paul Gauguin

Sailing Vessel in Moonlight is an 1878 painting in the Post-Impressionist style by the leading French artist Paul Gauguin. This work is located in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, Denmark.

This is a seascape painting featuring one sailship in the foreground and a number of vessels in the background, sailing at night under a full mood hidden underneath the clouds. This early work is certainly a unique Gauguin picture, with no true resemblance to his other Neo-Impressionist works.
