Cataracte près de vieux Brugs Hammer 1788 - 1792

This aquatint, "Cataracte près de vieux Brugs Hammer", by Georg Haas depicts a waterfall in the countryside. The artwork portrays a realistic scene of a waterfall with a small group of people on the left side of the waterfall. The image is dominated by the waterfall cascading down a cliff, with surrounding trees in the background. The title reveals the location of this landscape and the date of creation suggests a period of exploration and discovery. The artist, Georg Haas, created this aquatint, an etching process using acid to create lines on a metal plate, between 1788 and 1792. This work is currently on display at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark.
