Landscape and Western Art

What is landscape? How does it differ from land ? Does landscape always imply something to be pictured, a scene? When and why did we begin to cherish images of nature? What is nature ? Is it everything that isn`t art, or artifact? By addressing these and many other questions, Landscape and Western Art explores the myriad ideas and images of the natural world in Western art since the Renaissance. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
