Landscape with waterfall, Jacob Isaacksz. van Ruisdael, c. 1668 oil on canvas, h 142.5cm × w 196cm. More object details In this grand landscape with the mighty waterfall, the small figures are almost entirely lost. The gnarled trees, bare branches and rushing water dominate the image. All the drama of creation and decay in nature is felt in it. The church tower towers above everything like a beacon of calm.
