Landscape painting has a long tradition in Europe, dating back to ancient Greece. It captures the beauty of nature—from realistic depictions to idealized or surreal interpretations. In addition to pristine natural landscapes, cultural or man-made scenes can also be part of this fascinating genre.
Renowned artists like Caspar David Friedrich infused landscape painting with emotional depth by combining realistic elements with intense colors and evocative atmospheres. This expressive power makes landscape paintings one of the most popular art forms to this day.
