"Coalbrookdale by Night" is an oil painting completed in 1801 by the Franco-British artist Philip James de Loutherbourg (1740–1812). This work is notable for its dramatic representation of the Industrial Revolution, capturing the fiery glow of the ironworks at Coalbrookdale, a site in Shropshire, England, which is often considered one of the birthplaces of the industry. The painting is a striking example of the sublime in art, a concept that was popular among artists and philosophers of the 18th century, which sought to evoke awe and wonder, often through depictions of vast landscapes and the overwhelming power of nature.

In "Coalbrookdale by Night," de Loutherbourg, who was known for his innovative theatrical scene designs and interest in dramatic lighting, uses the interplay of light and shadow to create a powerful contrast between the dark night sky and the bright, almost otherworldly glow of the furnaces. The painting reflects both the awe-inspiring and terrifying aspects of industrialization, with its potential for both progress and destruction.

The work is a part of the Romantic movement, which often included a critical reflection on the consequences of the Industrial Revolution and its impact on the natural world and human society. "Coalbrookdale by Night" serves as a historical document of its time, providing insight into the early industrial landscape and the societal changes that were underway.

Philip James de Loutherbourg's painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its historical significance. It is a testament to the transformative power of industry and the complex reactions it provoked among contemporary artists and thinkers. The painting is preserved in the collections of the Science Museum in London, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its portrayal of a pivotal moment in human history.
