Ralph Albert Blakelock is most famous for his moonlit landscapes. In Moonrise, we can just make out the glowing orb behind thickly painted auburn trees. The mysterious yellow-green light from the sky gives a hint of shadowy earth in the foreground and a tree trunk to the left, intensifying the sense of being in a place within the artist’s mind.
