About the piece

Painted in 1775 by William Hodges, this evocative landscape captures a serene waterfall in Tahiti. Hodges, who served as the official artist on Captain Cook's second voyage, expertly conveys the humid atmosphere and vibrant, untamed beauty of the Pacific using a sophisticated play of light and shadow.
