Views of cities, the countryside, and nature, both familiar and faraway, became increasingly important in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European and American painting. Such paintings, widely represented in the collection of the Allen Memorial Art Museum, depict a broad range of subject matter, from seemingly objective views to intense investigations of subjective perception.
