View of the Waterfall at Anitrella

The painting shows a view of the waterfall at Anitrella with goats grazing nearby. This dramatic waterfall landscape was painted following a trip Hackert made through Lazio and Abruzzi in the spring of 1793. Anitrella lies to the southwest of the town of Isola di Liri (called Isola di Sora in Hackert's time) and the 40 meter high cascade is where the river Liri emerges from the foothills of the Abruzzi.
