Jeff Rowland’s Midnight in Moscow transports viewers to a serene winter night, where a couple strolls hand-in-hand through the snow-covered streets of Moscow, bathed in the soft glow of moonlight. The iconic silhouette of St. Basil’s Cathedral rises majestically in the background, its colorful domes contrasting against the cool, tranquil tones of the night. The snow crunches beneath their feet, a subtle reminder of the cold air, yet the intimate connection between the couple adds warmth to the scene.
Rowland’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in the play of light and shadow, which brings the snowy landscape to life. The delicate moonlight reflects off the snow, casting a gentle glow on the couple’s figures, while the cathedral’s intricate architecture adds a timeless grandeur to the composition. The stillness of the moment, coupled with the expansive yet intimate setting, creates a perfect blend of romance and the quiet majesty of Moscow at midnight.
This limited edition numbered print captures not just a place, but a fleeting moment in time, highlighting Rowland’s signature ability to convey both the beauty of a scene and the emotional depth of the figures within it. Midnight in Moscow is a celebration of love, serenity, and the magical allure of a winter night in one of the world’s most iconic cities.

Jeff Rowland was born in 1964 – he recalled being inspired to create art from a young age, as he watched his grandmother working with oil paints. He studied art at Newcastle Tyneside College, and made his first attempt at becoming a self-employed professional artist in 1984. After struggling to find success, he was determined to hone his focus and skills, and studied advertising and illustration at the Newcastle School of Design.
Following this, Rowland was able to create a collection that earned him great success, exhibiting in Northumberland and then in London. Increasing sales enabled him to continue working in his desired career as a full-time artist.
Rowland was known for the commitment he showed to his work, and to creating art that was truly authentic. He immersed himself in the scenes he created – for example, before painting a series of scenes featuring fishermen and trawlers, he went out on a north sea trawler to experience the work first hand.
In the latter years of his life, Rowland was based in the north east of England, where he was able to find inspiration for his ongoing works. He died in 2018 at the age of 55, following a battle with Leukaemia.
