Although it was created four years later this nocturne is a companion piece to “Black Forest by Night”. The intensely glowing blue in the back_ground underlines the darkness of the night. At the same time there is a rest of light on the meadows in this landscape, plastically painted in the range from light to dark green, through which a way in shades from brown to ocher is meandering in the foreground. However, the spectator´s eye is caught by a flamingly red tree. This chromaticity is reflected by the sky floating over the landscape. Flashes of lightning seem to dart through the sky floating over the landscape.
