How do you define landscape painting?

A landscape painting is a depiction of an environment whether it be natural or artificial. The term is derived from late Latin words meaning land and to paint, with which landscape generally described much more than what we think of today as a landscape work. Over time, however, that definition has changed to embrace a broader meaning, including seascapes or cityscapes in addition to mountain ranges—any terrestrial or near-terrestrial scene that makes for captivating art or photography. Landscape painting has been practiced for centuries as a genre in Western art, but only became popular in North America during our own modern period—the mid-1800s through today.
