"Star Light in Harbor" is a painting by the preeminent American luminist painter Fitz Henry Lane (also known as Fitz Hugh Lane). Created in 1855, this work exemplifies Lane's mastery in depicting light and atmosphere, characteristics that define the Luminism movement in American landscape painting. The painting is a maritime scene, a subject for which Lane is particularly renowned, showcasing his meticulous attention to the effects of light on water and his ability to capture the tranquility of a harbor at dusk.

The composition of "Star Light in Harbor" features a serene harbor setting under the emerging evening sky, where the last vestiges of twilight mingle with the first signs of starlight. Lane's use of light and color creates a calm and reflective mood, inviting viewers to contemplate the natural beauty and the quietude of the maritime environment. The painting is notable for its detailed rendering of ships and their reflections on the water's surface, demonstrating Lane's technical skill and his intimate knowledge of nautical subjects.

As with many of Lane's works, "Star Light in Harbor" is characterized by a smooth, almost glass-like finish, with an emphasis on horizontal lines and a clear, crisp horizon that separates the water from the sky. The subtle gradations of color and the precise depiction of light effects are hallmarks of Lane's style and contribute to the overall sense of harmony and order within the composition.

"Star Light in Harbor" is part of the collection of the Cape Ann Museum in Gloucester, Massachusetts, an institution that houses the largest collection of Lane's works. The painting is considered an important example of American Luminism and continues to be studied for its aesthetic and historical significance, reflecting the maritime heritage of New England and the broader American experience of the mid-19th century.
