This work is by Alfonso Simonetti, a Naples born artist who often painted nightscapes of Italy, lit only by the light of the moon. This particularly painting is called Plenilunio or full moon. It depicts two lovers kissing under the moonlight. The details are largely obscured by the darkness and so the people and nature become less distinctive in the scene.
This seascape is another of his works. It contrast the first image with the sun just beginning to rise. Again, the distinctions between nature and human are obscured by the similarities in the color palette used for both. The painting is titled Ancor Non Torna, And She Never Returned.
