nswer: The use of light is generally dark. It has a narrow value range. The light is soft. I like it since it represents a deep mood, the absence of light is the reason why it gives you a feeling of darkness and tranquility.

Explanation: Riddarfjärden is known as the "blue painter" since his works don't have the bright colors impressionists usually use, nor people in them. This painting represents a dark blue night, in which the value of light is really low, with only the distant lights and the seashore shining. Although his style may be somber, it also reflects the tranquility of the night, when everything is calm and you are able to admire the beauty of obscurity.
