What is Landscape Art?

This is a specific genre of oil painting that involves depictions of the natural world. The content generally includes fields, forests, trees, rivers, mountains, and valleys depicting the natural world. Artists usually create landscape art with a broad view. This “landscape format” allows artists to include more detail in the scene and focus on the land. It is an approach that differs from portrait paintings, which artists usually create in a vertical format.
