''Nocturne in Black and Gold – The Falling Rocket'' is a painting by the American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created around 1875. Part of Whistler's "Nocturne" series, this artwork is a prime example of his aesthetic approach to art, emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony and the beauty of color and composition over subject matter. The painting, which is held at the Detroit Institute of Arts, depicts a night scene of fireworks at Cremorne Gardens, a pleasure garden on the banks of the River Thames in Chelsea, London.

The artwork is renowned for its abstract quality and atmospheric effect, with Whistler's use of dark hues and light touches to suggest the fleeting moments of exploding fireworks and their reflections on the water. The painting's title reflects Whistler's musical analogy for his works, with "nocturne" suggesting a night-time composition, akin to the musical form that evokes a similar mood.

"Nocturne in Black and Gold – The Falling Rocket" became the subject of a famous libel case, Whistler v. Ruskin, in 1878, when the prominent art critic John Ruskin accused Whistler of "flinging a pot of paint in the public's face." Whistler sued for libel and won, but was awarded a mere farthing in damages, leading to his financial ruin.

The painting is considered a precursor to abstract art and has been interpreted as an exploration of the interplay between light and darkness, a study of atmospheric conditions, and an expression of the transitory nature of beauty. It remains a significant work in the history of art, illustrating the transition from traditional representational art to the modernist movement, and continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination.
