The 19th century interest in representing the landscape continued through the early 20th century, but the approach to rendering nature changed. While earlier artists sought to transcribe the outdoors and its most minute details, the Impressionist artists attempted to capture the fleeting sensation of the world around them. For the Aesthetic Arts and Crafts and Movements, nature was stylized and presented as something altogether soothing. Art reflected a desire to bring beauty to and wrestle order from a world in the midst of significant and irreparable change.
