The fire in a simple wood stove creates a warm glow against the cool moonlight shining through a window. The theme of this painting is contrast - the juxtaposition of a small orange flame against an icy blue background. It symbolizes man's ability to survive and flourish in harsh natural situations, and how an invention as simple as a wood stove and some fire can transform an unforgiving night into a welcome sight.
