Landscape with a Waterfall in the Foreground 1680 - 1748

"Landscape with a Waterfall in the Foreground" (1680-1748) is an anonymous oil painting showcasing a dramatic, almost fantastical, landscape scene. The painting, held at SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, captures a mountainous terrain with a large rock formation creating an archway over a flowing stream, leading the viewer's eye to a bridge and distant hills. The foreground features a powerful waterfall tumbling over a fallen tree, adding a sense of grandeur and natural force to the composition. The painting, while unsigned, reflects the style of Dutch landscape paintings of the period.
