Moonlight

A Reconnaissance (1902) by the American painter Frederic Remington (1861-1909). The title suggests a military task but it seems that the two men are watching the stars. So it seems that the real adventure here is more nature.

  1. The light was amazing because of the unusual combination of snow and moonlight. The trees might have brought darkness onto the canvas but the trees were pushed back to the horizon line.
