About the piece
Created around 1775, this evocative work by Jean-Honoré Fragonard captures the essence of the French Rococo movement. The composition features a waterfall—the 'cascade'—cascading beside a monumental stone colonnade, while small figures at the water's edge provide a sense of scale against the lush, dark foliage and atmospheric sky.
