About the piece
Painted around 1670 by Jan van Kessel, this Dutch Golden Age masterpiece centers on a dynamic cascade of churning water rushing over dark, rocky terrain. The composition is anchored by a gnarled, broken tree trunk in the foreground, which leads the eye toward a distant hilltop and a mist-shrouded town under an atmospheric sky.
