THE BOULEVARD DE CLICHY UNDER SUARR, FRANCE

In landscape artworks the artist makes use of the natural or created environment. A busy cityscape, filled with plazas, courtyards and urban activity or a quiet, serene mountaintop view of a forest and lake are both examples of landscape paintings. Often landscapes and architectural scenes were painted to serve as "open windows" to provide a feeling of greater space in small rooms. [MH] {NR}
