description: Well into the Renaissance, landscapes were still not recognized as a genre of their own. Most artists, like da Vinci, sketched landscapes as a planning step for a different artwork. This drawing was probably used as a reference for da Vinci when he was painting something else.

description: This artwork by Altdorfer is considered to be the first "pure landscape.The landscape itself is the focus of the finished artwork and not merely a backdrop or a study. Altdorfer was known for his expressive landscapes and for making the people he rendered fit in with the landscape instead of dominating it.

description: Artists during the Dutch Golden Age had to adapt to the changing atmosphere of their time. With the rise of Dutch Calvinism and the movement away from the opulent stylings of the Catholic church, the desire for religious paintings fell. Artists began creating more secular artworks, such as history paintings, allegorical artworks, portraits, and landscapes. People were still often placed within landscapes, but they no longer dominated the composition.

header: Veduta of Delphi with a Sacrificial Procession by Claude Lorrain
description: Landscapes in which people were considered secondary in the composition grew out of the Dutch Golden Age and spread to other areas of Europe. Claude Lorrain was a French artist who championed the landscape movement in the rest of Europe. To keep his artworks popular, he often made them into history paintings, but there is no question that the landscape is the focus of this artwork. Artists of this time often idealizde their landscapes and made them more dramatic.
