“Water is the driving force of all nature.”
– Leonardo da Vinci
I guess that many painters (certainly this one) are inevitable drawn to rivers as there is usually something engaging going on with colours, form and movement.
Leonardo himself was fascinated by water (alright, he was fascinated by pretty much everything), and spent eons studying ripples, waves, movement, and the power of water et alia, and in the years around 1508-11 he studied hydraulics in great detail with the unrealised intention of compiling a treatise on the subject.
The power of water is compelling. Villages that grew into towns which grew into cities were normally established either on the ocean, or on a river bank. The water provides food and power and most of everything else needed to survive. Sometimes the river floods, and overflows its banks as in this case, and with the moisture laden air, creates a foggy mist that permeates the entire scene, obliterating the horizon at times.
For the painter, this creates a harmony of colour and forms.
Painted in situ, en plein air in France, this one is now available.
