This painting shows a wild, rocky river rushing through a forest. The water crashes over boulders, and the trees on the hillsides are dark green. A stormy sky looms above, casting shadows over the scene. The artist paid close attention to how light hits the rocks and water, making some spots glow while others stay dark. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how this lighting trick works.
