A History of Landscape Painting
Landscape painting first emerged as a distinct genre during the Renaissance, with artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer creating careful studies of the natural world. By the 17th century, Dutch Golden Age painters such as Jacob van Ruisdael elevated landscapes to a central theme, celebrating the beauty of their surroundings while evoking both local and national pride.
Romanticism in the 19th century introduced artists like J. M. W. Turner, who emphasised the sublime power of nature. Turner’s evocative depictions of light and weather influenced many, and his legacy continues in contemporary art. The Impressionist movement, led by Claude Monet, further transformed landscape art. Using loose brushwork and vibrant colours, Monet captured the delicate and fleeting effects of light across water. His innovations paved the way for modern approaches, blending realism with abstraction.

Abstract and Expressive Landscapes
British artist Paul Bennett creates calm but powerful landscape oil paintings. Deeply evocative, Bennett’s seascapes are reminiscent of J. M W. Turner, capturing the sublime power of the ocean. Artworks, like Beyond Night, build this sense of mystery through a hazy sfumato effect which shifts into sharp edges and an ominous tone.
For a more contemporary approach to abstract seascape paintings, explore the expressive art of Alison Johnson. Johnson’s work flits between the oceanic and the cosmic, reflecting the vast unknowability of the natural world – an ethereal world between reality and abstraction. Recent projects like The Chasm (2025), showcase her mastery of colour, light and texture, depicting the fleeting movement of water over a rocky outcrop with lively strokes of orange, swathes of teal and glittering duck-egg blue.
Textures and Illustrative Landscapes
Alternatively, explore our collection of figurative nature paintings for sale, starting with the work of Philip Tyler. Having worked predominantly in portraiture, Tyler’s landscape prints, such as Landscape (2016), carry a powerful graphic edge which captures the evocative texture of the medium.
Likewise, Lisa Carney creates textured canvases in which the landscape merges through drips, splatters and evocative mark-making. By applying layers of thick paint in artworks like Moss Meadows (2024), Carney creates a clever optical illusion, expertly constructing a vibrant meadow which simultaneously invokes a careful study of moss on a wall.
Dreamlike and Multimedia Landscapes
For something a little different, why not explore the work of Icelandic artist Baldvin Ringsted whose mixed-media technique combines traditional landscape imagery with patterned motifs to create surrealist contemporary landscapes. The Great Secret (2024) intersects a mountainous landscape with graphic ridges evoking the topography of a map layered over a contrasting pink background.
Or explore the ethereal, lyrical contemporary landscapes of the painter and photographer Gina Parr. Nature, memory and identity serve as a cornerstone of Parr’s work, having spent her childhood between the expansive space of her father’s fishing boat and her mother’s claustrophobic home. Her work, such as Immersion (2024), is infused with atmosphere and narrative, exploring the space between abstraction and figuration, representation and psychology.
Tips for Decorating with Landscape Art
When decorating with landscape art, consider the room's atmosphere. For tranquil spaces like bedrooms, choose soft, serene landscapes in subtle colours. In larger areas, why not opt for bold pieces, like large landscape wall art, to make a statement. Match sizes to wall dimensions, ensuring art complements the room's scale and mood.
