Mountainous Landscape with a River 1835 - 1837

Johann Wilhelm Schirmer's "Mountainous Landscape with a River" (1835-1837) is a romantic depiction of a mountain scene with a waterfall cascading down a steep cliff, all surrounded by lush foliage. The meticulous detail of the rocky outcroppings and the flowing water creates a sense of realism, while the soft light and overall composition evoke a sense of serenity and wonder. The artwork is a testament to Schirmer's skill as a landscape artist, capturing the beauty of the natural world with a delicate touch. The work is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
