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.
