About the piece
Painted around 1889, John Henry Twachtman’s 'Waterfall' exemplifies American Impressionism with its emphasis on atmosphere and light over rigid form. The composition focuses on the fluid motion of water cascading over rocky ledges, using a delicate, almost chalky application of cool tones that creates a sense of quiet energy. The work likely depicts the waterfall on Twachtman's own property in Greenwich, Connecticut, a favorite subject during his most celebrated period.
