Aspects of Nature: The Cliff, 1897. Henri Rivière (French, 1864-1951), Printed by Verneau. Color lithograph; sheet: 64.2 x 89.8 cm (25 1/4 x 35 3/8 in.); image: 55 x 82.7 cm (21 5/8 x 32 9/16 in.). One of sixteen images in the series Aspects of Nature, this lithograph depicts a view from Rivières summer home in Brittany. Rivière chose this site for the house—perched high atop gray rocks among pine trees and heather—because “[you could believe yourself at the end of the world there.. the noise of the winds and the sea, the cries of birds.. a call of a sailor were the only sounds which enlivened the harmonious landscape, which changed in itself and its colors according to the effects and the hours.” This image of two children and a flock of sheep poised on a cliffs edge overlooking a vast, turbulent sea perfectly evokes Rivières description. His brilliantly colored, large-format landscape prints played a pivotal role in the revival of the artistic lithograph at the end of the 19th c
