Bomen en waterval 1745

"Bomen en waterval" (Trees and Waterfall) is an etching created in 1745 by Carl Albert von Lespilliez, a German-Dutch artist active in the 18th century. The artwork features a central landscape with a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff. The composition is framed by an elaborate rococo-style border adorned with putti and other decorative elements, typical of the period's penchant for intricate ornamentation. This etching, housed in the Rijksmuseum, demonstrates Lespilliez's skill in capturing both the natural beauty of the landscape and the elegance of decorative design.
