Landscape – A painting of a view across an area of land

(Pronounced land-skape)

Note: Landscapes are one of the principal types of western art. They can be rural or urban.

To remember what landscape means, remember the following:

The land in the painting allowed the desk worker to escape (landscape) for a few moments, pretending she was there, with a view across an area of land.
