Finding the Right Landscape-paintings for You

It could be argued that cave walls were the canvases for the world’s first landscape paintings, which depict and elevate natural scenery through art, but there is a richer history to consider.

The Netherlands was home to landscapes as a major theme in painting as early as the 1500s, and ink-on-silk paintings in China featured mountains and large bodies of water as far back as the third century. Greeks created vast wall paintings that depicted landscapes and grandiose garden scenes, while in the late 15th century and early 16th century, landscapes were increasingly the subject of watercolor works by the likes of Leonardo da Vinci and Fra Bartolomeo.

The popularity of religious paintings eventually declined altogether, and by the early 19th century, painters of classical landscapes took to painting out-of-doors (plein-air painting). Paintings of natural scenery were increasingly realistic but romanticized too. Into the 20th century, landscapes remained a major theme for many artists, and while the term “landscape painting” may call to mind images of lush, grassy fields and open seascapes, the genre is characterized by more variety, colors and diverse styles than you may think. Painters working in the photorealist style of landscape painting, for example, seek to create works so lifelike that you may confuse their paint for camera pixels. But if you’re shopping for art to outfit an important room, the work needs to be something with a bit of gravitas (and the right frame is important, too).

Adding a landscape painting to your home can introduce peace and serenity within the confines of your own space. (Some may think of it as an aspirational window of sorts rather than a canvas.) Abstract landscape paintings by the likes of Korean painter Seungyoon Choi or Georgia-based artist Katherine Sandoz, on the other hand, bring pops of color and movement into a room. These landscapes refuse to serve as a background. Elsewhere, Adam Straus’s technology-inspired paintings highlight how our extreme involvement with our devices has removed us from the glory of the world around us. Influenced by modern life and steeped in social commentary, Straus’s landscape paintings make us see our surroundings anew.

Whether you’re seeking works by the world’s most notable names or those authored by underground legends, find a vast collection of landscape paintings on 1stDibs.

Questions About California Landscape Painting
  • Lilac Gallery Ltd.March 18, 2021
    The word 'Landscape' regarding the art could potentially refer to one of two things. The first one is that the proportions of the artwork are in a 'rectangular' shape and the largest side has to be placed horizontally. That would be the difference between 'Portrait' (Vertical) vs. 'Landscape' (Horizontal) artwork. And the second meaning could be of what the subject is been referred to. A painting of a 'Landscape' usually portrays a scene in the countryside, it could include elements like mountains, rivers, trees, figures and animals, sky and clouds, and some other elements that are not descriptive of an urban location as this would be referred as a 'Cityscape'

  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between Eastern and Western landscape paintings is traditionally in how artists seek to represent natural settings. Over hundreds of years, Western artists strived to make landscape paintings more realistic by incorporating techniques like linear and atmospheric perspective. In the East, landscape artists focused more on showing the rich details that give natural environments their beauty rather than on making their works appear three-dimensional through perspective. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of landscape paintings.
