*** About The Art of Landscape Painting: Landscape painting is a genre that traditionally depicts natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, and is shown in its vast presence or in smaller, more detailed sections. Historically, landscape backgrounds for figures can still form an important part of the work. Sky is almost always included in the view, and weather usually is an element of the composition. During the 17th century, landscape painting grew out of sight of an artistic background and became a genre of its own, evolving into the modern day where diverse elements and techniques give life to artwork like the one seen here, compelling viewers to a sensory and emotional experience.
