介绍（中）	出生于英国的亨利·法勒（Henry Farrer）是托马斯·C·法勒（Thomas C. Farrer）的兄弟，托马斯·C·法勒（Thomas C. Farrer）是艺术真理促进会（Society for the Advancement of Truth in Art）的主要创始人，该协会代表了美国的拉斐尔前派运动。与在伦敦跟随约翰·拉斯金学习绘画的兄弟不同，亨利可能是自学成才的，从 1860 年代初开始制作精心制作的水彩静物和风景画。他定期在他帮助创立的美国水彩协会展出它们。 "月光下的冬季场景"是法拉最早的水彩风景，可能代表了布鲁克林的一个地点，他一生中大部分时间都住在那里。这幅画平淡无奇的地形和精确的技术揭示了这位年轻艺术家早期对拉斐尔前派理想的坚持，而其淡淡的原始主义则暴露了他真诚的自学成才。由于这种品质，以及其寒冷的夜间环境和微妙的构图不对称，该图像预示着二十世纪超现实主义风景的令人不安的基调。
介绍（英）	English-born Henry Farrer was the brother of Thomas C. Farrer, the principal founder of the Society for the Advancement of Truth in Art, which represented the Pre-Raphaelite movement in America. Unlike his brother, who studied drawing with John Ruskin in London, Henry was probably self-taught, beginning in the early 1860s to produce painstakingly wrought still lifes and landscapes in watercolor. He exhibited them regularly at the American Watercolor Society, which he helped to found. "Winter Scene in Moonlight," Farrer's earliest known watercolor landscape, probably represents a site in Brooklyn, where he lived most of his life. The picture's prosaic terrain and precise technique reveal the young artist's early adherence to Pre-Raphaelite ideals, while its faint primitivism betrays the earnest autodidact that he was. Because of that quality, as well as its chill nocturnal setting and subtle asymmetry of composition, the image anticipates the disturbing tenor of twentieth-century Surrealist landscapes.
