Luna, Christmas, 1882
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating artwork by American artist Elihu Vedder. This exquisite piece combines watercolor and pastel with black and blue ink on an artist's board, measuring 31.4x27.9 cm. The painting showcases a mesmerizing nocturnal scene set in the late nineteenth century. Vedder's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts the moonlit sky adorned with clouds and mistletoe. The lunar presence takes on an anthropomorphic quality, resembling a human likeness amidst the natural space. The winter season is beautifully represented through delicate watercolor strokes that create a wintry atmosphere. This stunning composition was originally created as a study for the cover of Harper's New Monthly Magazine Christmas issue in 1882. It features an intricate border designed by Alfred Parsons, adding depth and elegance to the overall artwork. The absence of human figures allows viewers to immerse themselves fully into this enchanting moment captured by Vedder's brushstrokes. The use of both black and blue ink adds contrast and enhances the ethereal quality of the scene. "Luna, Christmas, 1882" invites us to contemplate nature's beauty during this festive time of year while also evoking feelings of tranquility and wonderment. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences today as it remains part of private collections worldwide.
