About the piece
Attributed to the circle of Joseph Vernet, this oil painting from around 1770 captures a quintessential vision of the Enlightenment-era landscape. Figures are seen fishing by a rushing waterfall, framed by a windswept tree and the romantic silhouettes of castle ruins against an expansive, atmospheric sky.
