The rare phenomenon of the ‘moonbow’
After recent sightings of a lunar rainbow, Kelly Grovier looks at how its magic has been captured
by artists of the past.
By Kelly Grovier
21 October 2016
On an evening walk in the autumn of 1799, William Cole, a now forgotten English poet, was
suddenly stopped in his tracks by a sublime appearance in the darkening Norfolk sky above him
– a vision so extraordinary he was moved to record its aerial rhythms in rhyme:
“The atmosphere with humid vapors flow,/And the pale moon displays her lunar bow.”
Aware that readers of his poem would probably be mystified by the atmospheric event
he described, Cole appended a footnote, directing readers to an article in a local newspaper
corroborating what he'd witnessed: “See the Norfolk Chronicle of Nov. 17, 1799”.
Two hundred and seventeen years after Cole's encounter, fresh sightings of the strange lunar bow
(sometimes referred to by meteorologists as a ‘moonbow’) are once again in the news.
A pair of ethereal photos captured recently in Yorkshire and in Northumberland have projected
around the world to a heavenly phenomenon that many had previously never heard of,
let alone seen. Generated in the same way that its more common cousin, the rainbow,
is produced, a lunar bow occurs when light (this time reflected from the moon, rather than
shining directly from the sun) is refracted through rain or mist suspended in the dimming atmosphere. Much more delicate in its fleeting projection than a rainbow, the lunar bow rarely conjures
the full spectrum of colors and typically appears an icy white.
Given its ghostly allure and spectral charm, one might have thought that the moonbow was
an ideal subject for artists keen to avoid slipping into rainbow kitsch. A comment by
the English landscape painter John Constable, who characterized the lunar bow as
its appeal. So it is surprising to discover that, apart from a notable canvas by the German Romantic
painter Caspar David Friedrich, the moonbow has by and large escaped the eternalizing
alchemy of art. In Friedrich's Mountain Landscape with Rainbow (1809-10) – sometimes
given the subtitle Landschaft mit dem Mondregenbogen or Landscape with Moonbow –
a resplendent arc cuts through the lustrous darkness in which a weary wanderer has paused,
as if weaving a protective dome over him. In a time of terror and ever-refracting global uncertainties,
it is not surprising that real-time echoes of Friedrich’s consoling vision, captured by contemporary
photographers, are once again causing a soulful stir.
