The deep darkness of a moonless night has to be painted from memory.
Here are two such interpretations, the first a scene in Warsaw in 1892, by Polish artist Józef Pankiewicz, with dim lamplight and a horse-drawn carriage coming or going in the center left.
This one by Isaac Levitan is very dark too, with the tree masses painted very softly and full of mystery.
