About the piece
Painted in 1868, Józef Szermentowski’s view of the Dunajec River captures the rugged beauty of the Pieniny Mountains. The composition contrasts the solid, imposing presence of the cliffs with the soft reflections on the water and the tiny, adventurous figures in the boat, showcasing the artist's mastery of light and atmospheric perspective.
