"Waterfall Between Chiavenna and Mount Splügen, Switzerland" is a watercolor painting by the English artist Francis Towne (1739–1816). Created during Towne's travels through the Swiss Alps in 1781, this artwork is part of a series that reflects the artist's journey and his encounters with the sublime landscapes of Switzerland. Towne, who was primarily known for his landscape watercolors, captured the grandeur and raw beauty of the Alpine scenery with a distinctive linear style and a restrained use of color that became hallmarks of his work.

The painting depicts the dynamic and powerful scene of a waterfall cascading through the rugged terrain between the town of Chiavenna in Italy and Mount Splügen in Switzerland. Towne's composition conveys the movement of water and the majesty of the surrounding mountains, while also demonstrating his skill in rendering the natural world with both accuracy and emotion. The artwork is characterized by its clarity, the interplay of light and shadow, and the careful balance between detail and the broader pictorial effect.

"Waterfall Between Chiavenna and Mount Splügen, Switzerland" is considered an important work within Towne's oeuvre, illustrating his contribution to the development of British watercolor painting in the late 18th century. His Swiss landscapes, including this piece, were influential in shaping the perception of the Alps as a subject for art and contributed to the growing interest in travel and tourism in the region. The painting is also notable for its historical context, as it was created during a period when the Grand Tour was popular among the British elite, and artists were increasingly seeking inspiration from the natural world.

Today, the painting is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also as a document of the European landscape prior to industrialization. It is held in a public or private collection, and it has been exhibited and studied as an example of the picturesque tradition and as a testament to Towne's artistic legacy.
