This type of landscape painting was extremely popular in France and Italy in XVII – XVIII centuries. The peculiarity of this genre is that even if an artist is depicting a real countryside rather than imaginary, this landscape is nonetheless sentimentalized and reinterpreted by him, i.e. the painting contains something from the depth of the artist’s mind. Otherwise this genre would be irrelevant in the era of photography.
