About the piece
Painted in 1849, August Wilhelm Leu’s masterpiece exemplifies the Romantic fascination with the sublime power of nature. The composition leads the eye from the foaming white water of the foreground up through dense fir forests to the misty peaks where the waterfall originates. A German landscape painter of the Düsseldorf school, Leu was celebrated for his ability to translate the rugged, atmospheric beauty of Norway's terrain into dramatic, luminous oil compositions.
