The Irish-born William Guy Wall arrived in New York City in 1818 and quickly established himself as a successful landscapist. His watercolors often served as the basis for engraved reproductions that helped to popularize American landscape imagery. This work depicts a distant view of the seventy-foot-high waterfall on New Jersey\u2019s Passaic River, a landmark renowned for its aesthetic beauty and awesome force (hydropowered manufacturing first developed along this river). In the English tradition, Wall applied layers of wash to capture reflections on the river, and he added human figures to provide scale to the scene.Object metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
