EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Niagara Falls from Above, c. 1766" transports viewers back in time to witness the majestic beauty of one of nature's greatest wonders. The artist, Thomas Davies, skillfully captures the essence of this iconic landmark with watercolor on paper. From a bird's-eye perspective, we are granted a breathtaking view of Niagara Falls in all its glory. The cascading waters create an awe-inspiring spectacle as they crash down into Lake Erie below. The sheer power and force of the waterfall is evident in every brushstroke. In this scene, we also catch a glimpse of Native American Indians observing the falls from afar. Their presence adds depth and cultural significance to the artwork, reminding us that these lands hold great historical importance for indigenous communities. A vulture gracefully soars above the falls, seemingly unaffected by the roaring waters beneath it. This juxtaposition between tranquility and chaos further emphasizes nature's ability to coexist harmoniously. The spray from Niagara Falls creates a misty haze that envelops everything around it, adding an ethereal quality to the painting. It is as if we can almost feel droplets of water on our skin just by gazing at this remarkable piece. This print serves as a timeless reminder of North America's natural wonders and their enduring allure throughout history. Its inclusion in the collection of New-York Historical Society ensures that future generations can appreciate and marvel at this extraordinary masterpiece for years to come.
