Landscape Arts

Mid-Range Landscape Arts.

Landscape painting, also known as landscape art, is the depiction in art of landscapes – natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, especially where the main subject is a wide view – with its elements arranged into a coherent composition. In other works landscape backgrounds for figures can still form an important part of the work. Sky is almost always included in the view, and weather is often an element of the composition. Detailed landscape paintings as a distinct subject are not found in all artistic traditions, and develop when there is already a sophisticated tradition of representing other subjects.
