In "The Rising Moon", the moon in brilliant yellow rises behind behind the misty blue alpine mountains and emits light that is captured through numerous short strokes of white paint. Using these lines, Van Gogh creates the effect of a broken moonlight that plays in the landscape.
There is a great rhythm in this painting created by these very precise brushes. His shapes are very round, from the wheat to the mountain. This sense of "roundness" and distortion is something typical of many of his later works. This picture was made in July 1889 when he made his first trip to Arles.
Reproduction is a high-quality print on an Italian eco-ink canvas. The canvas is folded over the back to the size of 30x40, and above this size is stretched on a subframe. The picture is arranged with a luxury frame.
