Elements Explored By Famous Landscape Painters

By Anita Ortega


Famous artists all tend to work with space in the way that suits them best. They each have a technique that makes their work easy to identify. Some rely heavily on their own interpretations when they are portraying distance and end up with a bit of abstraction in their work. Kiefer, Monet and Turner painted beautiful, romantic images that celebrated life and also commented on the mistakes that people have made.

Artists in this category aim to capture the essence of what makes a scene outstanding. They look at the beauty of creation and try in their own way, to portray it on canvas. People across the world enjoy the work of famous landscape painters. In this way, we can continue to enjoy scenery after we have gone indoors. In fact, many great pieces that we admire in museums today were based on scenery that have changed significantly over time.

A painter may utilize a composition like this as a means of communicating with color. In European art, more emphasis is placed on exploring the beauty of all sorts of tints. Asian art traditionally played around with tones of the same color, when it came to images of mountains, rivers and the countryside in general.

Color also has an influence on how we perceive the nature of the elements in a painting. People are automatically drawn to any object that is painted in a bright color. Artists can give prominence to one object and influence how viewers think of trees or buildings in a composition.

Just the absence of man made conveniences makes it easy for you to tell how old a painting is. Humankind joins with nature in lots of contemporary work so you see more fences, railway lines and light posts in modern work. The artwork of old masters has less of these elements within them.

Landscape painters are sometimes thought of as artists who just create pretty pictures but this is far from the reality. They may put visual symbols together in a way that highlights the negative aspects of the history of a nation. They may celebrate the core spiritual values of a country as well, just by their focus on particular elements of nature.

Some of the great Chinese and Japanese painters brought mountains close to the viewer and painted them in great detail, unlike others who would simply fade these land masses in order to give the viewer perspective. Wyeth is also known for paying great attention to detail and this is one of the elements that makes his work remarkable.

Beautiful landscape paintings give you a lot to think about. Some of these artists, like Pippin, did not focus solely on landscapes. However, they produced beautiful work that will be appreciated by individuals who like paintings that belong to this genre. Exploring collections in museums and galleries allows you to enjoy your favorites.
