Landscape in Painting

Before the camera landscapes were painted, many artists were able to capture the beauty of the nature that is now mainly

shown through photography.

John Constable – The Hay Way, 1821

This image shows a way of rural life that was beginning to vanish at this time.

J.W.M Turner –Rain, Steam and Speed – The Great Western Railway, before 1844

William Dyce – Pegwell Bay, 1858-60

This image although of the sea falls into

the landscape category. As there are people within

the painting it could also be seen as a

portrait.

Paul Cezanne -The Forest, 1885-1887?

David Bomberg, 1890-1957 - Tregor and Tregoff,

Cornwall, 1947

Landscape Photography

The first photograph was taken in 1825/6

from then on landscape

photography began to rival the painters.

Albert Renger-Patzsch – Beech Wood, 1936

This image shows the simple beauty of the nature.

Ansel Adams - Moonrise over Hernandez new Mexico, 1941

More Ansel Adams

The Tetons--Snake River, Wyoming, 1942

Bridalveil Fall

In my opinion Ansel Adams is one of the greatest landscape photographers

as his images are so detailed, clear and beautiful.

Edouard Boubat – First Snow, Jardin du Luxembourg, Paris, 1955

Sally Mann - Untitled - (Deep South #31),

1998

Edgar Martins- Untitled, from the series The Rehearsal of Space, 2006

Cityscapes As time progressed

and cities grew, landscapes

changed from being just of rural country beauty to depicting the realities of the

city.

Berenice Abbott – Lower East Side Waterfront, Side Street,

1935

Andreas Feininger – Hudson River Waterfront, NewYork, 1942

Richard Petersen –

View from the Dresden City Hall Tower,

1945

This image could be seen as a documentary image as well as landscape as it is documenting

a important historical event. The bombing of Dresden,

Germany in WW2.

René Burri – Sao Paulo, 1960

Brassai - Rue de la colonie, Touluse, 1990

Jordan Baseman – Dark is the Night, 2009

Seascape

Joel Meyerowitz –Vivian, 1980

This image shows that the category of landscape can also include seascapes. This image could also be seen as a portrait can I feel it was probably intended as a portrait due to the title.

John Brett - The British Channel Seen from the Dorsetshire Cliffs,

1871

Sculptor and the Landscape

Sculptor changes the face of many landscapes in England and around the

world.

Henry Moore – The King and

Queen
