About the piece

Painted in 1788 by Jean-Joseph-Xavier Bidauld, this masterful oil study depicts the famous cascades of Tivoli. Bidauld's work is celebrated for its precise observation of light and texture, seen here in the contrast between the soft spray of the falls and the rugged, sun-drenched cliffs of the Roman countryside.
