Jacob van Ruisdael completed this dramatic scene around 1670, featuring a waterfall cascading before a castle. He produced more than 150 Scandinavian views with waterfalls, making this his most common landscape theme. The painting combines natural power with architectural elements.
A rare Dutch ebonized pearwood cabinetmaker's frame from the late 17th century was acquired for this painting, generously funded by donors. The frame suits the work's period and importance. Van Ruisdael was the leading Dutch landscape painter of his era. Now at the Dayton Art Institute in Ohio.
