Vandfald 1822 - 1823

"Vandfald" (Waterfall) is an 1822-1823 etching by Danish artist Søren Henrik Petersen (1788-1860). The artwork depicts a picturesque waterfall cascading down a rocky stream, framed by lush greenery and a towering forested mountain in the distance. The detail in the foliage and the dynamic portrayal of the waterfall highlight Petersen's skill in landscape etching. The etching is part of the collection of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst in Denmark. The image is a prime example of the Romantic style of landscape art, with its emphasis on nature's grandeur and evocative imagery.
