The scene
A green and gold night sky with a thin crescent moon and a scatter of stars, tall towers and a long hall glowing from within, mountains and dark pines on either side and a boathouse at the water's edge. Six small boats cross the lake, each carrying a lantern that doubles in the water.
The style
A Victorian moonlight painting: a green-gold night sky, deep shadows and warm lamplight glowing in the windows and on the water, the way the painters of the 1880s painted cities after dark.
The inspiration
Inspired by Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling. The look comes from John Atkinson Grimshaw's Reflections on the Thames, Westminster (1880), the Victorian painter of moonlight: still water, warm windows and a dusky green sky. An independent art print, not affiliated with or endorsed by the book's publishers or any film studio.
How it's made
A print of a digital artwork in the style of a Victorian moonlit oil painting, not an original. Each carries my printed Chapter & Scene signature.
