The artwork titled “Rising of the Moon,” created by Wassily Kandinsky in 1903 in Munich, Germany, falls within the Post-Impressionism art movement and portrays a landscape.
In the artwork, the viewer is presented with a serene and tranquil landscape, characterized by soft and muted colors. The composition features prominent elements such as the moon rising in the background, partially obscured by tall, abstract tree shapes. The sky is depicted in soothing tones of blue and is accentuated by streaks of lighter colors, reflecting the glow of the setting sun or rising moon. Two figures, one in red and another in white, are positioned in the foreground, adding a human element to the natural scene. The overall atmosphere conveyed is one of calmness and introspection, typical of the landscape genre and evocative of the Post-Impressionist style.
