The painting depicts a vast night panorama, typical of the Mediterranean hinterland, where the protagonist is a cylindrical tower that rises in the center of the canvas between a series of fortified villages. The scene is illuminated laterally by the halo of moonlight with a very suggestive chiaroscuro effect. The canvas can be attributed to the painting of the Flemish landscape artist Pieter Mulier known as the Knight Tempesta following his stay in Italy, where he worked and trained artistically first in Rome, then in Genoa attracted by the sea and the Ligurian landscape, and finally in Milan until his death. His works confirmed his restless spirit and were mainly divided between the depiction of landscapes characterized by an unstable and never serene atmosphere, and the always stormy seascapes often at night and in the moonlight.
The canvas presents a wide-ranging night view and is distinguished by a pleasant sensation of quiet with silent fishermen along the waterway that enliven and color the scene.
