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
