Oskar Kokoschka painted this scene on his first visit to Scotland. He lodged for a week in a highland farmhouse, finding this view at the junction of the Findhorn and Divie rivers. He loved the wildness of the landscape he found there, embracing it for this energetic painting in which the forms of rocks, river and trees almost overwhelm one another.
