Landscape Painting

A 3D virtual museum of landscape painting. Weather, distance and land, from artists who stood outside in it. For centuries landscape was mere background; here it is the entire subject.

Every piece in this online exhibition comes from the Art Institute of Chicago's Open Access collection, released under CC0. Each label gives the artist, the date and the medium.
