About the piece

Jacob van Ruisdael’s 'Landscape with Waterfall' (c. 1665) exemplifies the Dutch master’s skill in rendering the dramatic forces of nature. The composition centers on a churning waterfall cascading over rocks, balanced by the vertical thrust of majestic fir trees against a restless, cloud-filled sky that suggests an impending storm.
