19th Century Moonlit Landscape with Rowboat, Oil on Wood Panel
Located in Stockholm, SE
Louis Douzette was a prominent German landscape painter whose artistic practice bridged late Romanticism and early Naturalism. He became especially known for his evocative nocturnal scenes illuminated by moonlight, a recurring subject that defined his mature style. These works reveal a fascination with the interplay of night sky, reflected water, and atmospheric tone. Often described as lyrical or meditative, they draw the viewer into a quiet world of natural reflection and stillness.
Douzette’s early training in Berlin under the marine painter Hermann Eschke grounded him in Romantic landscape traditions, but he soon developed his own voice. He found deep inspiration in the moonlit river scenes of Dutch Golden Age painters such as Aert van der Neer and Jacob van Ruisdael. His commitment to nocturnes emerged in the 1860s, a theme he returned to with increasing focus throughout his career. By the late 1870s, exposure to the Barbizon School and plein-air techniques enriched his approach, infusing his nightscapes with greater realism and atmospheric complexity. This synthesis of romantic mood and naturalist observation defines much of his later output.
The present work, Moonlit Landscape with Rowboat, captures the artist’s refined handling of tone and light on an unusually intimate scale. Measuring just over 13 by 17 centimetres, the panel presents a tranquil night scene in exquisite detail. A full moon, partially veiled by drifting clouds, casts its reflection over the surface of a river. The silver light falls across the water in rhythmic bands, leading the eye toward a gently moored rowboat. A wooded shoreline flanks the composition on the right, while the distant horizon reveals faint silhouettes of trees beneath a softly glowing sky.
Despite the painting’s modest format, it conveys a remarkable sense of depth and atmosphere. The sky is built with expressive, layered brushwork that suggests subtle variations in cloud density and moonlight diffusion. The reflective water is handled with delicacy, echoing the sky’s luminosity in more muted, rippling form. Dark foliage anchors the composition without overpowering it, creating a gentle contrast that enhances the nocturnal glow. The rowboat, placed with quiet purpose, introduces a human element without breaking the silence of the scene.
Douzette’s contribution to 19th-century German painting...

Whether growing your current fine art collection or taking the first steps on that journey, you will find an extensive range of original photography, drawings, prints, sculptures, paintings and more on 1stDibs.
Visual art is among the oldest forms of expression, and it has been evolving for centuries. Beautiful objects can provide a window to the past or insight into our current time. Art collecting enhances daily life through the presence of meaningful work. It displays an appreciation for culture, whether a print by Elizabeth Catlett channeling social change or a narrative quilt by Faith Ringgold.
Contemporary art has lured more initiates to collecting than almost any other category, with notable artists including Yayoi Kusama, Marc Chagall, Kehinde Wiley and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Navigating the waiting lists for the next Marlene Dumas, Jeff Koons or Jasper Johns has become competitive.
When you’re living with art, particularly as people more often work from home and enjoy their spaces, it’s important to choose art that resonates with you. While the richness of art with its many movements, styles and histories can be overwhelming, the key is to identify what is appealing and inspiring. Artwork can play with the surrounding color of a room, creating a layered approach. The dynamic shapes and sizes of sculptures can set different moods, such as a bronze by Miguel Guía on a mantel or an Alexander Calder mobile suspended over a table. A wall of art can evoke emotions in an interior while showing off your tastes and interests. A salon-style wall mixing eclectic pieces like landscape paintings with charcoal drawings is a unique way to transform a space and show off a collection.
For art meditating on the subconscious, investigate Surrealists like Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí. Explore Pop art and its leading artists such as Andy Warhol, Rosalyn Drexler and Keith Haring for bright and bold colors. Not only did these artists question art itself, but also how we perceive society. Similarly, 20th-century photography and abstract painting reconsidered the intent of art.
Abstract Expressionists like Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner and Color Field artists including Sam Gilliam broke from conventional ideas of painting, while Op artists such as Yaacov Agam embraced visual trickery and kinetic movement. Novel visuals are also integral to contemporary work influenced by street art, such as sculptures and prints by KAWS.
Realist portraiture is a global tradition reflecting on what makes us human. This is reflected in the work of Slim Aarons, an American photographer whose images are at once candid and polished and appeared in Holiday magazine and elsewhere. Innovative artists Mickalene Thomas and Kerry James Marshall are now offering new perspectives on the form.
Collecting art is a rewarding, lifelong pursuit that can help connect you with the creative ways historic, modern and contemporary artists have engaged with the world. For more tips on piecing together an art collection, see our guide to buying and displaying art.
