The painting was once thought to have been by Jacob van Ruisdael, the leading Dutch landscape artist of the seventeenth century; it has since been attributed to his cousin, Jacob Salomonsz. Ruysdael, who imitated his style. Perhaps the slightly awkward placing of the mountain high above the trees on the right is a clue that the picture isn't likely to be by van Ruisdael, but the movement of the torrent and the atmospheric lighting still make a dramatic scene.
