Landscape art depicts natural environments — mountains, rivers, coastlines, forests, and skies. In the Western tradition, landscape became a distinct genre in the 17th century and has remained central to Australian art, from the colonial paintings of Tom Roberts and Arthur Streeton to contemporary responses to the bush, desert, and coast. Landscape can be treated realistically, impressionistically, abstractly, or conceptually.
