An introduction
Landscape painting is a type of work in
which natural scenery is the essential
vixual motif; an independent pictorial form
in Europe from the 16th century as a setting
for human activity, often expressed in a
religious subject, such as the themes of the
Rest on the Flight into Egypt .European
landscape oil painting arouses the
spectator’s feelings to a certain beauty
because of the inclination to the value of
human existence and the value of life . It
followes the principle of depicting the real
world, stressing an exact and scientific
representation. It has a preference for a
way to describe the outside world or paint
realistically because the Western people
hope to realize their grasp on the objective
world in “formal harmoniousness” by art,
that is, they can have something to repose
their trust in the grasp of the objective
world in a vision format for perfect
aesthetic feeling.It is different from
traditional Chinese painting which takes the
spectators as the subject and involves them
into the works and depends much more on the
feelings and active thoughts of spectators
to build up a beautiful realm for them. |

Classical landscape artists
were influenced by antiquity. The landscapes
they represented were meant to illustrate
the ideal landscapes. Because of this, the
scenes are very contrived. The position of
people, a tree, a rock, or anything else for
that matter were calculated. Through this
calculation of space, the final effect is an
idyllic landscape that is the epitome of
harmony and balance. Diagonal were used, but
are much more subtle in the smooth way they
direct space. The diagonals are not sweeping
as we saw in Rubens, nor do you get the
brooding sense of atmosphere as we see in
the Dutch landscapes on
oilpaintingfactory.com. Classical artists
captured a timeless mood. The figures while
they still do participate in the scene, are
no longer equal like Rubens, they are, in
fact, inferior to the immense landscape.
Rustic cottage houses are replaced with
classical buildings. People wear classical
costume instead of peasant clothing.
Classical painters do not show true rural
life. They idealize the atmosphere by the
use of unnatural light, and in essence, the
result is a blissful landscape in which
everything is in harmony, denying what
actual life is like. Classical landscape
painting enforces correctness and propriety
in their works of art. According to Tansey,
"Restraint and moderation are the very
essence of French Classical doctrine". |

Landscapes paintings play a significant role
in American art. The earliest American
landscape paintings were topographic
illustrations of farms, cities, and
landmarks that were generally painted for
local residents or for Europeans interested
in the New World. In the colonial era,
landscape views were found primarily in the
backgrounds of portraits on
oilpaintingfactory.com, usually to provide
additional information about the sitter.
Landscape painting came to dominate American
art in the 1820s, when artists began to
equate the country's unspoiled wilderness
with the new nation's seemingly limitless
potential. For the new generation, landscape
was less a stage for theatrical effects but
rather a sounding board for the artist's
personal emotional response. |

TOPERFECT offers the finest Classical
lanscape oil paintings, from which you can
see the "sunshine," "frosty air," "gentle
breeze," "gloomy day", or the “air” which is
so skillfully painted that we seem to feel
the heat of the sun and the rush of the wind
and believe that it might take hours for a
bird to fly from one side of the picture
frame to the other. |

The artists always painted the landscape
form certain angles, for example they see
the field from above, or from the ground.
They used techniques well to create pictures
that portray the great size and splendor of
the European and American landscape. Today,
although television floods us with images,
and we can easily travel by car, train, or
plane to whatever river, mountain, canyon,
or seacoast we wish to visit, the silent
paintings of these artists still speak to us
of the majesty of our land. They are all
worth the life collection. |
