Landscape with Waterfall — History & Analysis

The tiny figures in this grand landscape with a rushing waterfall are almost lost. The composition is dominated by gnarled trees, barren tree trunks, and roiling water.

The dramatic cycle of nature’s birth and decay is almost tangible.

A church tower rises up in the distance like a beacon of peace.
