Plate 5: female figure on horseback and a male figure with a dog standing in a stream, pointing to a waterfall at left in the background, from 'Landscapes in the manner of Salvator Rosa' (Die Landschaften in Sal. Rosa's) 1695 - 1730

This etching, titled "Plate 5: female figure on horseback and a male figure with a dog standing in a stream, pointing to a waterfall at left in the background, from 'Landscapes in the manner of Salvator Rosa' (Die Landschaften in Sal. Rosa's)" by Franz Joachim Beich, captures the essence of the Italian Baroque landscape painter Salvator Rosa’s style. Beich, a German artist, created this etching in the late 17th or early 18th century as part of a series that emulated Rosa’s signature dramatic and rugged landscapes. The print depicts a picturesque scene of a waterfall cascading down a rocky cliff face with a female rider on horseback and a man with a dog standing in the stream, their attention drawn to the cascading water. Beich's etching showcases his skill in representing the textures of rocks, trees, and water, evoking a sense of depth and grandeur. This piece is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, offering a glimpse into the artistic exchange between German and Italian art in the 18th century.
