Everything about Landscape totally explained
A
landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including physical elements such as
landforms, living elements of flora and fauna, abstract elements such as lighting and weather conditions, and human elements, for instance human activity or the
built environment.
Etymology
The word landscape comes from the
Dutch word
landschap, from
land (directly equivalent to the
English word
land) and the suffix
-schap, corresponding to the
English suffix "-ship".
Landscape, first recorded in 1598, was borrowed as a painters' term from Dutch during the 16th century, when Dutch artists were on the verge of becoming masters of the landscape genre. The Dutch word
landschap had earlier meant simply 'region, tract of land' but had acquired the artistic sense, which it brought over into English, of 'a picture depicting scenery on land'.
