Experience Nocturne from the Benalla Art Gallery Collection.
from French nocturne ‘of the night’

nocturne /nŏk′tûrn″/

noun

A painting of a night scene.

An instrumental composition of a pensive, dreamy mood, especially one for the piano.

A night piece, or serenade. The name is now used for a certain graceful and expressive form of instrumental composition, as the nocturne for orchestra in Mendelsohn’s “Midsummer-Night’s Dream” music.
