A Jug of Wine, A Loaf of Bread—and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness—

Carl Gustav Carus - Schloss Milkel in Moonlight ca. 1833–35

oil on canvas, 28.5 × 21.5 cm
The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Baroque manor house at Milkel, near Dresden, is depicted from its rear garden in an atmosphere of deep calm. While nature’s fecundity is illuminated by the moon, two windows glow softly, revealing a human presence—the sign of someone awake late at night. Carus wrote that "supreme reality is manifest both inwardly, through the rational mind, and outwardly, through nature," a duality represented in this painting by lamplight and moonlight.
