The Waterfalls at Tivoli, with the Villa of Maecenas is a 1750 oil by Claude-Joseph Vernet, a Rococo painting work, held at Mauritshuis.
This painting shows a waterfall in a rocky landscape. The waterfall is in the center, with trees and rocks around it. In the foreground, people are sitting or standing near the water. Some are looking at the waterfall, and others are talking or resting. The painting has a lot of green and brown colors, with some blue in the sky. The waterfall is white and foamy. The people are wearing old-fashioned clothes, like robes and tunics. They seem to be enjoying the scenery and each other's company.
