Landscape with Waterfall

Jacob van Ruisdaelca. 1668

Rijksmuseum

Rijksmuseum
Amsterdam, Netherlands

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.
