About the piece

Painted in 1869, this work by Nicola Antonio Facchinetti captures the Cascata do Bulhões in Petrópolis with remarkable detail. The composition uses towering trees to frame the rhythmic descent of water over sunlit rocks, offering a peaceful window into the verdant wilderness of 19th-century Brazil.
