"Tintern Abbey by Moonlight" is a watercolor painting by the English artist John Sell Cotman (1782–1842), a leading figure in the Norwich School of painters and renowned for his works in watercolor. The painting depicts the ruins of Tintern Abbey, a former Cistercian monastery located on the Welsh bank of the River Wye in Monmouthshire, under the ethereal light of the moon.

Cotman's portrayal of Tintern Abbey is a fine example of the Romantic fascination with medieval ruins and the picturesque, a movement that found beauty in the decay of the built environment, set against the backdrop of nature. The painting is characterized by its atmospheric effects and the interplay of light and shadow, which imbue the scene with a sense of tranquility and sublime beauty. The moonlight bathes the ruins in a soft glow, highlighting the gothic arches and the textures of the crumbling stone, while the surrounding landscape and the night sky are rendered with a sense of mystery and depth.

The work is part of a broader cultural interest in Tintern Abbey during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, which was also famously captured in poetry by William Wordsworth in his "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey." Cotman's interpretation contributes to this legacy by capturing the essence of the site's romantic allure through his masterful watercolor technique.

"Tintern Abbey by Moonlight" reflects Cotman's skill in conveying mood and atmosphere, and it remains an important work within his oeuvre. The painting not only exemplifies the Romantic era's aesthetic values but also serves as a historical record of the enduring appeal of Tintern Abbey as a subject for artists and poets alike. The artwork is significant for its contribution to the understanding of British landscape painting and the cultural context of the period in which it was created.
