''Nocturne in Black and Gold – The Falling Rocket'' is an oil painting by the American artist James Abbott McNeill Whistler, created around 1875. As part of Whistler's "Nocturne" series, this artwork is a prime example of his exploration into the aesthetic movement and his belief in "art for art's sake." The painting is known for its abstract quality and its departure from traditional Victorian-era representations of narrative and realism, instead emphasizing atmosphere and mood.

The painting depicts a night scene of fireworks at Cremorne Gardens, a popular entertainment venue in Chelsea, London. Whistler's use of rapid brushstrokes and a limited color palette captures the fleeting effects of light and motion in the night sky, with the titular "falling rocket" and other fireworks creating a sense of dynamism against the dark backdrop. The work's emphasis on tonal harmony and the evocation of a sensory experience were innovative for its time and contributed to the development of modernist aesthetics.

''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, defending the value of his work and the importance of artistic expression, won the case but was awarded a mere farthing in damages, which led to his financial ruin.

The painting is currently held in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts. Its significance in the history of art lies not only in its innovative approach to painting but also in its role in the broader discourse on the nature of art, the value of aesthetic experience, and the artist's right to challenge conventional expectations.
