Waterfall on Sorocaba River is a 1896 oil by Benedito Calixto, a Impressionism work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting shows a serene waterfall on the Sorocaba River. The scene is set in a lush landscape with trees and rocks surrounding the water. The waterfall is the focal point, with white water cascading down into the river. The surrounding trees and foliage are depicted in various shades of green, while the sky above is a soft blue with white clouds. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the waterfall.
