Reason: Dovedale by Moonlight is a painting by Joseph Wright of Derby (1734 – 1797), which uses the picturesque valley of Dovedale as its subject. Joseph Wright of Derby was an English landscape and portrait painter. He is renowned for his landscapes but also for his depictions of scientists and masculine industrial workers of his time, painted with the same dramatic chiaroscuro for which Joseph Wright is noted.

Support – A stunning painting, and unusual in that it is a moonlit landscape.

Support — Evocative, with somewhat the character of several Caspar David Friedrich works. Suggest it be added to Joseph Wright of Derby. Sca (talk) 13:43, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Very interesting...I do not find this restful. As Sca states, it is evocative, so perhaps it has an unsettling aura or vibe. However, lovely moonscape. Fylbecatulous talk 13:40, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's restful ... in an eerie way. Sca (talk) 13:50, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
