The Terni Waterfalls is a 1797 paint by Unknown, depicting Waterfall, held at Gemäldegalerie Berlin.
This painting depicts a dramatic waterfall scene, with a massive cliffside cascading down into a misty pool below. The waterfall dominates the foreground, while a small figure stands at its base, gazing up at the torrent. In the background, a distant landscape unfolds, with trees and buildings visible on the cliff's edge. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and movement, as if the viewer is being swept up in the rush of the water. The use of chiaroscuro in this painting creates a sense of depth and volume, drawing the viewer's eye into the heart of the waterfall.
