Landscape: A Muse Through the Ages

Skip ahead to the art please!

For many people, the first thing that comes to mind when a “painting” is mentioned, is the image of a painted landscape. Like portraits and florals, the natural landscape has been a subject of paintings for as long as artists have been doing them. Across the drastic shifts in style and technique that have occurred through the history of art, landscapes have remained an inspiration to artists throughout.

The Monk by the Sea – Caspar David Friedrich [1808-1810]

What is it about the natural landscape that’s so compelling?  Perhaps that does not need to be explained – all one has to do is walk out into the wilderness. There are infinite sources of inspiration one can find in nature, from the subtle details of a leaf rustling in the wind, to the sublime power of a violent storm.

A representational scene has the power of freezing moments in time. Landscapes are constantly in flux, and a likeness or an interpretation of a landscape captured at any moment will always be unique, different from the next. Two landscapes captured at an identical moment will also vary, based on the subjective interpretation and visual language of the artist holding the brush. All this variety, and we haven’t even breached the topic of abstraction. The variety is endless!
