English: The mid-scale, oil-on-canvas painting is dominated by a moon- and star-filled night sky. It takes up three-quarters of the picture plane and appears turbulent, even agitated, with intensely swirling patterns that seem to roll across its surface like waves. It is pocked with bright orbs-including the crescent moon to the far right, and Venus, the morning star, to the left of center-surrounded by concentric circles of radiant white and yellow light. Beneath this expressive sky sits a hushed of humble houses surrounding a church, whose steeple rises sharply above the undulating blue-black mountains in the background.
