Waterval van de rivier de Aare 1763 - 1785

This print by Charles Melchior Descourtis, titled "Waterval van de rivier de Aare", created between 1763 and 1785, depicts the cascading waterfall of the Aare River in Switzerland. The artist's depiction of the rocky terrain and rushing water highlights the dramatic force of nature. The inclusion of a small figure in the foreground adds scale and emphasizes the vastness of the landscape. The dedication to "Monsieur George Craufurd" suggests this print was a commissioned work, highlighting the growing popularity of landscape art during this period.
