Landscape Oil Paintings for Sale

Landscape paintings display tangible view of land in an artistic and awe-inspiring style that satisfies man’s quest for natural beauty and his aesthetic sense. Just like other genres of paintings, landscape paintings, mostly in the form of oil paintings, originate from a number of landscape scenes including mainly physical, living, fleeting and manmade elements that are all visible and full of colours. The subjects as well as themes of such paintings similarly have a wide variety; even variation is meaningful and a conscious person can easily point out the background of the painter just by looking at the scenery on the canvas.

Physical elements include trees, valleys, mountains, rivers, lakes and forests; by fleeting we mean transitory scenes of day and night, light and dark, winter and summer, spring and autumn; and manmade elements correspond to man’s activities on the earth that have left a remarkable sign of his mental and physical skills. Though manmade elements of landscape paintings, like buildings and structures, are of real importance, physical and fleeting elements have remained major source of interest for the painters. What landscape oil paintings, then, portray is the lying beauty all around human beings and highlighting their importance with regard to human-aesthetic sense.

One of the most important features of landscape paintings is harmony. The objects of nature are in harmony with each other and until this arrangement remains unchanged, life goes on in a smooth order. Nevertheless, as soon as this order reverses or is disturbed by mankind, it heralds destruction, devastation and even annihilation. The same is easily and comprehensively applicable to each and every act of us in our daily life. Harmony brings satisfaction, sense of fulfillment and accomplishment whereas disharmony is the sign of war, animosity, treachery and brutality. In this context it will be well justified to relate every feature of landscapes with that of human life.

The history of landscape paintings goes back to the fifteenth century with Roman and Chinese artists copying factual as well as imaginary landscapes in their oil paintings. Waterfall was the main ingredient of the former while the latter included flowing rivers and lakes in the oil paintings. Later on in Europe, the painters started portraying religious themes in their landscape paintings. Most important themes were the Rest on the Flight into Egypt, the Journey of the Magi and Saint Jerome in the Desert. Artists belonging to France, Netherland and England contributed a great deal for introducing this particular kind of painting in Europe. Now in the twenty fist century East Asian and African countries have also made their mark in this field and earned great fame for setting their unique painting traditions.
