This painting shows a massive waterfall, with water cascading down a rocky cliffside. The water is a misty white, and the cliff is a dark, cool gray. In the foreground, the cliffside is covered in greenery, with trees and bushes sprouting from the rocks. The waterfall dominates the scene, with the water falling from a great height and creating a misty veil that rises into the air. The painting is held at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. To learn more, look up the artist Albert Bierstadt.
