"Moonlight on the Columbia River" is a painting by Ralph Albert Blakelock (1847–1919), an American artist known for his poetic and moody interpretations of the American landscape. This work is one of Blakelock's nocturnes, a genre in which he excelled and for which he is particularly celebrated. Created in the late 19th century, the painting depicts a serene and atmospheric scene of the Columbia River under the luminous glow of the moonlight.

Blakelock's technique in "Moonlight on the Columbia River" is characterized by his use of thick impasto and a restricted palette, which enhances the mystical and dreamlike quality of the scene. The painting's composition is a testament to Blakelock's ability to convey depth and emotion through the interplay of light and shadow, with the moon's reflection on the water creating a path of light that leads the viewer's eye into the distance.

The artist's life was marked by periods of mental instability, and his work, including "Moonlight on the Columbia River," gained greater recognition and value posthumously. Blakelock's paintings are considered precursors to the Tonalist movement, which emphasized the use of color and tone to create harmonious and emotionally evocative landscapes. Today, his work is held in high esteem and can be found in major museums and private collections, with "Moonlight on the Columbia River" standing as a fine example of his unique contribution to American art.

This painting not only reflects Blakelock's personal vision but also captures the broader cultural fascination with the American West during a time of rapid expansion and change. "Moonlight on the Columbia River" remains an important work for its artistic merit and for its place within the context of American landscape painting in the late 19th century.
