This oil painting is an interpretation of the famous villa by the American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The 1935 house is located in the Laurel Highlands of southwestern Pennsylvania. It is partly built over a waterfall. The house was designed as a weekend retreat for Liliane and Edgar J. Kaufmann, the owner of the Kaufmann department store in Pittsburgh.
Upon its completion, Time called Fallingwater Wright's "finest work," and it's included in Smithsonian's "Life List of 28 Places to See Before You Die." The house was designated a National Historic Landmark on May 11, 1976. In 1991, members of the American Institute of Architects called Fallingwater the "greatest work of all time of American architecture."
The house and seven other Wright structures were inscribed as a World Heritage Site in 2019.
