Landscape Paintings
Early landscapes tended to be based on imaginary places and very few paintings depicted actual landscapes. It was not until the introduction of ready-mixed oil paints in the 1870s that en plein air painting became widely practised and actual landscapes were used.
The Legacy of the Landscape
In addition to the traditional landscape, there are various other forms of ‘-scape’ which depict different scenes, for instance: cityscapes, seascapes, hardscapes – paved over areas such as streets and sidewalks, aerial landscapes which depict landscapes from above and inscapes – artworks which seek to convey the psychoanalytical view of the mind as a three-dimensional space.
