Description
Landscape by Erika Langmuir explores how artists have translated outdoor space and light into paint over time. From its origins in Roman mural decoration to the Impressionist revolution, this book reveals the evolution of landscape imagery as a visual metaphor for human experience. The story is told through a discussion of optics and the representation of real and painted landscapes, illustrated with works from the National Gallery, London. This practical approach demonstrates the ongoing relevance of art in shaping our understanding of the world and our place within it. Published by National Gallery Publications, this book offers a unique perspective on the history and significance of landscape painting.
