Landschap met de grote watervallen van Tivoli 1770 - 1820

"Landschap met de grote watervallen van Tivoli" (1770-1820) is an etching by German artist Friedrich Wilhelm Gmelin (1745-1821) that depicts a dramatic landscape with a cascading waterfall. The scene likely showcases the famous cascades at Tivoli, Italy, a popular subject for 18th-century European artists. The intricate detail of the rock formations, rushing water, and surrounding vegetation showcases Gmelin's skill in etching, a technique that uses acid to create lines on a metal plate. This print would have been popular with collectors who sought to own representations of picturesque landscapes.
