Artists are drawn to landscapes for various reasons. The ever-changing moods of nature, the harmony of colors, and the serenity of wide-open spaces offer endless inspiration. Landscapes allow artists to explore the interplay of light and shadow, the textures of different elements, and the essence of a specific place. By capturing landscapes, artists have the opportunity to convey their own emotions, narratives, and unique perspectives on the world.

They offer an escape to serene and picturesque realms, providing a visual respite from daily life. Moreover, landscape art can complement various interior styles, bringing a touch of tranquility and natural beauty to any space.
Throughout history, numerous artists have pushed the boundaries of landscape painting, achieving remarkable feats. One such pioneer was J.M.W. Turner, a British artist known for his innovative use of light and color, creating atmospheric and emotive landscapes. The Impressionist movement, with artists like Claude Monet, expanded the possibilities of capturing the fleeting qualities of light and the essence of the moment within landscapes.
In Indian art, landscape painting holds great significance. Traditionally, landscape elements were incorporated into miniature paintings, serving as backdrops for narratives and courtly scenes.

FAQ
A landscape painting is a picture that depicts an area in nature, such as the countryside or cityscapes. The artist paints what he sees and feels when he looks at the scene before him.
Where do you begin when you know nothing about art? Visit as many galleries and museums as you can. The aim of this exercise is mainly to see as much art as possible and become visually ‘comfortable’ with the experience. This definitely helps you figure out your personal taste. Cultivating an enthusiasm and curiosity about art is what makes it exciting. If you are intimidated by the idea of walking into galleries, online galleries give you the freedom to browse art right from your home. Visiting galleries, art exhibitions and shows are great ways of finding artworks that you love too.
As for limited edition prints, what it means is that the artist or gallery has set a limit on the number of prints that are going to be made for a particular artwork, and that increases its exclusivity. Unlike the highly-priced original artworks, limited edition prints and sensorial prints are more accessible to a first-time buyer and a great way to begin experiencing the joy that art brings to life.
Now that you have found a piece of art you like, you might wonder if your choice is the ‘right’ one or whether it truly is art. Relax! Ask yourself what you like about the piece of art? Is it the colors, the mood, the size, or the emotion it evokes in you? Does it remind you of a fond memory or make you want to dream?
Once you ease into finding your preferences in art, ask yourself why you like it. Art like clothing is personal, there is nothing wrong or right about an artwork. If it tells you a story, listen to it, and somewhere along the way it becomes your story.
