What is landscape painting?

Landscape painting depicts subjects in the natural world, including scenery like mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests. People are sometimes included but are visually less significant than the environment. Marine life is excluded, referred to as seascapes.

Who are the most famous landscape painters?

Some renowned landscape artists include John Constable, J.M.W. Turner, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, Qi Baishi, and historical Chinese painters known as the Four Masters of the Yuan: Huang Gongwang, Wu Zhen, Ni Zan, and Wang Meng.

Contemporary artists like Thomas Kinkade and Bob Ross gained popularity. Kinkade's paintings have increased in value since his death in 2012, and Ross' paintings, although prolific, are difficult to authenticate and widely copied.

What are some of the most well-known schools of landscape painting?

In the Chinese tradition, various schools include the Southern School, Four Masters of the Yuan Dynasty, and others. In Western traditions, numerous schools such as American Impressionism, Hudson River School, Impressionism, and many more have made significant contributions to landscape painting.

What factors influence the value of a landscape painting?

Artist significance, age, region of origin, and materials are influential factors in determining the value of a landscape painting.
