A Cliff in the Katskills is a 1893 oil by Jervis McEntee, a American Impressionism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting shows a rugged cliffside landscape with a large rock formation in the foreground. The cliff is covered in brown and green vegetation, with a few trees visible in the distance. The sky above is a mix of white, gray, and brown clouds. In the foreground, the artist has used thick brushstrokes to create a textured effect on the rocks and trees. The overall mood of the painting is one of serenity and tranquility, with the natural beauty of the landscape taking center stage. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of light and shadow, you might want to look into the technique of chiaroscuro.
Jervis McEntee (July 14, 1828 – January 27, 1891) was an American painter of the Hudson River School.
