Why does the depiction of buildings belong in the category of landscape painting?
In the category "buildings" you will find your preferred artists and the desired motifs. However, a separate era of building painting does not exist. Whereby the sober term "building" hardly does justice to the beautiful motifs of such artists as David Caspar Friedrich, Alfred Robert Quinton, Vincent van Gogh and Paul Gaugin. Rather, this type of painting has developed into an independent art form that can be found in various art epochs from antiquity to the present. Particularly outstanding are the works of art from the Baroque (1600 - 1770), Romantic (1790 - 1850) and Impressionist (1850 - 1900) periods.
What does landscape painting express?
With landscape painting, the impulse makers of the respective art epochs captured motifs showing untouched or human-influenced natural landscapes. The artists preferred to set churches, historic buildings, cottages, farms, but also whole villages or individual streets in scene. The landscape painting of the different art epochs can be seen as a mirror of the changing relationship of people to their environment. The Romantics and Impressionists expressed feelings towards nature and revealed social conditions.
English artists such as Alfred Robert Quinton and Thomas Churchyard preferred to set cottages, churches and farms as "An Old Surrey Cottage" or "House in Woodbridge". The American artist George Henry Durrie often captured winter landscapes on canvas. Well-known paintings include "Winter in the Country" and "Old Mill in Winter." With the Dutch artists it was also allowed to be a little darker as "The Mill" by Rembrandt van Rijn shows. During this period, a realistic landscape painting emerged.
Among the most famous representatives of landscape painting are French artists such as Paul Gaugin with their bright idyllic garden and park landscapes, often depicted in pastel colors, such as "Landscape near Arles". With their works, the Romantics and Impressionists sought to make people merge with nature.
