"St. Michael's Mount by Moonlight" is an evocative painting by the British artist Henry Barlow Carter (1803–1867), known for his marine and coastal scenes. This artwork captures the picturesque St. Michael's Mount, a small tidal island in Mount's Bay, Cornwall, under the enchanting glow of moonlight. Carter's work often reflects his fascination with the interplay of light and water, and this painting is no exception. It showcases his adeptness at rendering atmospheric effects and his ability to imbue a sense of tranquility and mystique in his seascapes.

The painting is characterized by its serene palette and the subtle gradations of light that bathe the historic castle and the surrounding sea. St. Michael's Mount, with its medieval church and castle, has been a subject of myth and legend, and Carter's depiction adds to the lore by presenting it in a moment of nocturnal stillness and beauty. The work is a testament to Carter's skill in capturing the unique charm of Cornish landscapes and seascapes, which earned him recognition in the 19th century.

While the exact date of creation for "St. Michael's Mount by Moonlight" is not well-documented, it falls within the period of Carter's artistic maturity when he had established himself as a prominent marine artist in the region. The painting is reflective of the Romantic era's fascination with nature and the sublime, emphasizing the awe-inspiring aspects of the natural world and the emotional response they could evoke in the viewer.

As with many of Carter's pieces, "St. Michael's Mount by Moonlight" would have been created using oil on canvas, a medium that allowed him the flexibility to capture the nuanced lighting effects that are so central to the work's appeal. The painting is part of Carter's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the visual record of 19th-century maritime Britain and continues to be appreciated for its historical and artistic value.
