A painting of scenery is known as a LANDSCAPE. LANDSCAPE paintings typically depict natural scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests, and often include seasonal elements such as snow, rain, or foliage. LANDSCAPE paintings can also include man-made elements such as buildings, roads, bridges, and other structures. LANDSCAPE paintings are often used to evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, and can be used to capture the beauty of nature.
