Landscape is a view or vista of natural scenery on land. It is the natural world or environment of cities and towns, forests, parks, rivers and coasts. That accommodate people and other living things. It is the structure or surface area in which living species live (people, animals, plants, and organisms).

To be more technical, we can define a landscape as a geographic land area comprised of clusters of interacting ecosystems that repeat throughout the land area.

The definition of landscape in art is the portrayal of natural or man made scenery.
