About the piece

Created in 1851, this masterwork by Jasper Francis Cropsey is a quintessential example of American Romanticism. The composition leads the eye from a turbulent waterfall in the rocky foreground of a mountain gorge toward a distant, storm-darkened horizon punctuated by a striking bolt of lightning.
