About the piece
Painted around 1665, this work by Jacob van Ruisdael captures the raw power of nature through its churning white water and rocky Scandinavian-inspired terrain. The composition is anchored by the energetic waterfall in the foreground, while a distant castle and towering pines are silhouetted against a moody, cloud-filled sky.
