Myths entwine around them the moon. Already in ancient cave paintings he is depicted. It has always been considered mysterious and magical, especially during a total lunar eclipse, when the moon turned red and became a blood moon. From early times through antiquity and the Middle Ages, it has had a great attraction for mankind, impressing people for millennia. In the early 17th century, Galileo perfected the telescope and pointed it at the moon, providing a wealth of new knowledge. The moon landing in 1969 was one of the most important events in human history.
Night has also always held both fear and fascination. Only the disappearance of the sun reveals to us the view of the universe. At the same time, our vision becomes limited, clear outlines become shadows, colors turn gray. No wonder that the night has always been considered mystical and mysterious. For night scenes, painters often needed dark hues that made other color schemes disappear. But the moon was a way to add light and depth to a painting. In art, there are many works about the moon and the night, some of which have contradictory themes. They deal with tranquility and chaos, life and death, holiness and sin, romance and melancholy, security and threat, life and death. The artist Vincent van Gogh was fascinated by the night. His famous Starry Night was created under the open sky.
Karl Friedrich Schinkel created the Palace of the Queen of the Night, a stage set for Mozart's Magic Flute. And Albrecht Dürer painted the Mother of God on a crescent moon, surrounded by a halo of rays. Artists have always been inspired by the moon and the night and created a variety of fantastic works.
