The magic of starry nights and urban landscapes intertwines in the captivating work of Martinus Rørbye, titled "View from the ramparts of Copenhagen's citadel under the moonlight." This canvas, evoking an atmosphere that is both peaceful and mysterious, transports us to a romantic Copenhagen, where the moonlight gently caresses the ancient stones of the citadel. Through this piece, Rørbye succeeds in capturing not only the beauty of the city but also the essence of a suspended moment in time, inviting the viewer to contemplate and marvel at the splendor of a nocturnal landscape.
