Night

Félix Édouard Vallotton’s painting Night exemplifies his realistic style, capturing the quiet, unemotional essence of a nocturnal cityscape. As an influential figure in the development of the woodcut technique, Vallotton’s mastery of printmaking and painting is evident in his precise, bold lines and subdued color palette. Though associated with the Art nouveau (modern) movement, his work often reflects a stark, realistic approach. Night emphasizes the stillness and mystery of urban life after dark, offering a contemplative glimpse into the modern city’s quiet hours.
