Cascades at Tivoli is a 1854 ink by George Loring Brown, a Impressionism work, depicting Waterfall, held at National Gallery of Art.
This etching shows rushing water at Tivoli, Italy. Rocks and trees crowd the dark foreground. The water sprays white and bright across the page. Brown used a needle to scratch lines into a metal plate. Then he dipped it in ink and pressed. The lines hold ink in some spots, skip others. That’s called drypoint. Try drawing with this method yourself. Look up Brown, George Loring.
George Loring Brown was born in Boston on February 2, 1814, and began his career apprenticed to the wood engraver Alonzo Hartwell, later working as an illustrator of children's books.
