Why do all these people come running? Has someone fallen in the water, or is there a fire? In his diary, Eckersberg simply described the picture as “a small painting showing a moonlit night by the full moon. The subject is Langebro with running figures.” Perhaps he deliberately played on the fact that many of the exhibition guests of the day would have read Carl Bernhardt’s novel The Coach from that same year; its dramatic high point takes place on Langebro when a young woman wishes to drown herself but is saved by the male protagonist. Here, Eckersberg has tried out all his ideas about space, structure, and light and shadow in a painting. Thus, it reflects the principles that he passed on to his Academy students. Yet he also created an enigmatic scene, keeping its story secret.
为什么这些人都跑了起来？是有人掉进水里，还是着火了？埃克斯伯格(Eckersberg)在日记中简单地将这幅画描述为「一幅小画，讲述了满月的夜晚。主题是长桥与奔跑的人。」也许他是故意利用这样一个事实，即当天的许多展览嘉宾都会读过同年卡尔-伯恩哈特(Carl Bernhardt)的小说《教练》(The Coach)；它的戏剧高潮发生在长桥，当时一名年轻女子想淹死自己，却被男主角救了下来。在这里，埃克斯伯格在一幅画中尝试了他对空间、结构和光影的所有想法。因此，这幅画反映了他传授给学院学生的绘画原则。他也创造了一个谜一般的场景，保持了故事的神秘感。
