The Waterfalls at Tivoli, 1737 (oil on canvas)
500009 The Waterfalls at Tivoli, 1737 (oil on canvas)
by Vernet, Claude Joseph (1714-89); 142.5x192.5 (framed) 123.2x172.6 (unframed) cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Likely Vernets first major work during his study in Rome, this landscape demonstrates his signature style. Vernet preferred and is remembered for marine subjects and water is also a central theme in this painting. Vernet became the predominant French landscape painter of the 18th century, contributing to a long French tradition. While in Rome, he absorbed the Italian tradition of dramatic, rugged landscape paintings, established by Salvador Rosa in the 1600s. This influence is reflected in Vernets presentation of the craggy rock formations and cascades that made Tivoli, a small town twenty miles east of Rome, famous. Vernet here synthesizes this style with the calmer pastoral mode, more typical of the French landscape tradition, with its roots in the work of Claude Lorrain. Vernet generally inserted elements of humanity in his work, here evident in the touches of civilization in the background and the fishermen in the foreground. Vernet enjoyed considerable popularity, evidenced by the fact that Napoleons brother Lucien Bonaparte held this painting as a part of his impressive collection. -- David Silvernail (February 2012)

The Waterfalls at Tivoli, 1737
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Claude Joseph Vernet that showcases the artist's mastery of landscape art. This piece, likely one of Vernets' earliest major works during his time in Rome, exemplifies his distinctive style and preference for marine subjects. The painting depicts the breathtaking waterfalls and craggy rock formations of Tivoli, a small town near Rome. Vernet skillfully combines elements of both Italian dramatic landscapes and the calmer pastoral mode typical of French tradition. The result is a harmonious blend that captures the beauty and grandeur of nature. In addition to its natural splendor, "The Waterfalls at Tivoli" also incorporates touches of humanity. In the background, we see glimpses of civilization, while fishermen occupy the foreground. These human elements add depth and narrative to the scene. Vernet's talent did not go unnoticed during his lifetime; he enjoyed considerable popularity as evidenced by Napoleon's brother Lucien Bonaparte including this painting in his impressive collection. Today, it resides in the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Vernet's artistic prowess from afar. It serves as a reminder of how an artist can seamlessly merge different styles and influences to create a masterpiece that stands the test of time.
