For the art of designing external spaces, see
landscape architecture. For landscape photography, see
nature photography. Landscape art depicts scenery such as mountains, valleys, trees, rivers, and forests. Sky is almost always included in the view, and weather usually is an element of the composition. In the first century A.D., Roman frescoes of landscapes decorated rooms that have been preserved at
Pompeii and
Herculaneum. Traditionally, landscape art depicts the surface of the
earth, but there are other sorts of landscapes, such as
moonscapes, for example.
