Landscape Art - A Timeline in Art History

This post outlines the different art movements and schools of painting in the different countries which I hope to feature on this blog.

I'm not going to tackle the development of landscape art according to a timeline, however I do want to be very clear about what the timeline is and how one movement or school influences another - hence this post.

It will also serve a purpose as an index. This post will be updated with links to the relevant posts as they are posted. This blog is, in effect, going to become something akin to a database which is updated over time. (I'll date posts at the end if they as and when they are updated).

I've also separated the posts out into continents to highlight the georgraphical aspects of the development of landscape art
