A Waterfall 1795 - 1796

"A Waterfall" is a watercolor painting by Joseph Mallord William Turner, created between 1795 and 1796. The artwork showcases Turner's early mastery of the medium, capturing the beauty of a cascading waterfall amidst a lush forest setting. The painting's delicate brushstrokes and subtle use of color create a sense of tranquility and atmospheric depth, characteristic of Turner's later Romantic landscapes. While Turner's later works are known for their dramatic use of light and color, this early piece demonstrates his talent for capturing the subtle nuances of nature with great detail.
