🌊 A Legendary Cascade and a Literary Icon
This Sculptural Watercolour® captures the dramatic Upper Fall of the Reichenbach in Switzerland’s Hasli Valley, Bernese Oberland. Already a celebrated natural wonder for 18th and 19th-century travelers, it gained immortal fame as the scene of Sherlock Holmes’ fateful confrontation with Professor Moriarty in The Final Problem by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
🌿 A Deep Immersion into Nature’s Fury
The artist spent years observing the Reichenbach Falls in all seasons, culminating in a visit when the waters were temporarily diverted. This rare opportunity allowed a tactile exploration of the immense rock formations sculpted by centuries of cascading torrents, inspiring a painting that conveys the true scale and elemental power of this historic landscape.
🎨 Prue Bishop’s Unique Sculptural Watercolour® Technique
