About the piece
This mid-17th-century oil painting depicts the celebrated cascades of Tivoli, a favorite subject for artists on the Grand Tour. The composition masterfully balances the wild energy of the falling water with the steady presence of ancient Roman ruins perched atop the cliffs, while pastoral figures and livestock rest in the shadows of the foreground.
