"An Oriental Harbour by Moonlight" is a painting by the Danish marine artist Daniel Hermann Anton Melbye, commonly known as Anton Melbye (1818–1875). Melbye, who was associated with the Golden Age of Danish Painting, was particularly renowned for his seascapes and maritime scenes. This painting is a fine example of his work, showcasing his ability to capture the interplay of light and atmosphere in a nocturnal setting.

The painting depicts a tranquil harbor scene under the glow of moonlight, with the stillness of the water reflecting the luminous sky and the silhouettes of ships and architecture. Melbye's skillful use of light and shadow creates a serene and almost ethereal atmosphere, inviting the viewer into a moment of quiet contemplation. The composition likely reflects the artist's fascination with the Orient, a popular theme in 19th-century European art, which was often characterized by an emphasis on exoticism and the picturesque.

While the exact date of creation for "An Oriental Harbour by Moonlight" is not well-documented, Melbye's career spanned the mid to late 19th century, and his works often featured maritime subjects from his travels and experiences at sea. His paintings are known for their technical precision and attention to detail, qualities that are evident in the rendering of the ships and water in this piece.

"An Oriental Harbour by Moonlight" is representative of Melbye's mature style, in which he combined his technical prowess with a poetic sensibility. The painting would be of interest to scholars studying the Golden Age of Danish Painting, Orientalism in European art, and the development of marine painting as a genre. As with many works of art from this period, the provenance and exhibition history of the painting could provide additional context for its significance within Melbye's oeuvre and the broader landscape of 19th-century European art.

The painting is part of Melbye's body of work that continues to be appreciated for its contribution to the marine art genre and is held in private collections or displayed in museums that focus on Danish art or 19th-century European painting. As a testament to Melbye's enduring legacy, "An Oriental Harbour by Moonlight" exemplifies the artist's lifelong passion for the sea and his ability to capture its many moods on canvas.
