The Risen Moon
1926
Frederick Judd Waugh was a marine painter who practically lived by the ocean, and this piece shows why. He captures the moon breaking through a dramatic sky, casting a shimmering 'moonpath' across the water that leads your eye straight to the horizon. The rugged rocks in the foreground anchor the scene, contrasting with the soft, glowing clouds above. It's a beautiful example of how he could make a seascape feel both powerful and peaceful, blending realistic detail with a dreamy atmosphere.
