"Gezicht op de Loreley" (View of the Loreley) is a landscape painting by Swiss artist Rudolf Bodmer, created between 1832 and 1872. The watercolor depicts the famous rock formation known as the Loreley, a cliff on the Rhine river in Germany. Bodmer's work is characterized by a detailed and romantic representation of the landscape, capturing the dramatic beauty of the Loreley and the surrounding river. The small size of the painting suggests it was likely intended for personal enjoyment.
