| The purpose of this kind of landscape is not to paint an actual scene, but to combine elements which evoke the imagination of the spectator and thus lure him away from the common-place world in which he lives. A calm sea, a sun-drenched beach, a sail boat gliding towaords a far horizon, a figure inviting you to follow him. |
