Chûte de la Passaïc 1824

"Chûte de la Passaïc" is a print by Charlotte Bonaparte, a niece of Napoleon Bonaparte, created in 1824. This delicate, hand-drawn work showcases a picturesque waterfall flowing through a rocky landscape, with lush greenery lining the edges. The print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an excellent example of Romantic-era landscape art, capturing the beauty and grandeur of nature. Bonaparte's work, while not as widely known as her famous uncle, is nonetheless a testament to her artistic talents and her appreciation for the natural world.
