Artwork description as provided from the museum's website (© - by The Cleveland Museum of Art - The Cleveland Museum of Art)

This painting depicts Abbeville, a city in northern France famous for its canals and architecture. It lies near the seaport of Boulogne-sur-Mer, Cazin's hometown and where he spent the last decades of his life painting the countryside, beaches, and nearby towns. Cazin specialized in landscapes, often influenced by his knowledge of English and Dutch painters. The title, Midnight, and the image itself suggest silence and stillness—Cazin's hallmarks—but only rarely did he attain this almost surrealistic atmosphere. Cazin was educated in Paris at the famous Ecole Gratuite de Dessins (Free School of Drawing), an innovative and unorthodox institution teaching drawing from memory. He studied there with fellow artists Henri Fantin-Latour (1836–1904), Auguste Rodin (1840–1917), and Alphonse Legros (1837–1911). They all shared an interest in Symbolism—the movement that sees symbols in reality and perceives reality through symbols.

The more than 120 year-old work of art was painted by the realist artist Jean-Charles Cazin in 1891. The original measures the dimensions of Framed: 113 x 112,4 x 11,4 cm (44 1/2 x 44 1/4 x 4 1/2 in); Unframed: 88 x 89 cm (34 5/8 x 35 1/16 in). Oil on fabric was applied by the artist as the technique for the artwork. The artwork has the following inscription: "signed lower right: j. c. cazin. 91". Today, the artpiece belongs to the The Cleveland Museum of Art's art collection, which is one of the leading museums worldwide that builds, preserves, studies, and shares its outstanding collections of art from all periods and parts of the world, generating new scholarship and understanding, while serving as a social and intellectual hub for its community.
