Salomon Gessner's "Leda and the Swan" transports us back to ancient times when waterfalls were revered for their mythical allure. Jacob van Ruisdael's forest scene from 1655 showcases how even within dense woodlands, they can emerge with their captivating force. Moving forward in time, Niagara Falls captivates our imagination with its timeless beauty dating back to 1950. The Missouri River below Great Falls is immortalized by an unknown artist in Montana during the late nineteenth century. George Frederick Watts introduces Uldra - The Scandinavian Spirit of Rainbow - who dances amidst waterfalls with radiant colors that mesmerize all who behold them.
