About the piece
Created in 1863 by John Henry Hill, this masterful landscape captures the textural complexity of trap rock at Buttermilk Falls. A hallmark of the American Pre-Raphaelite style, the painting emphasizes 'truth to nature' through meticulous brushwork and a sophisticated, earthy palette that brings the quiet majesty of the outdoors into the home.
