Resumen
This essay strives to enquire into landscape, to understand and illustrate how the latter is an experience, a perception that has been lived through, but, at the same time, a sensation connected to images rooted in people’s minds and stored in iconic works of art. We start by concentrating on how landscape works, and how beholders make sense of the intense emotions it conveys; this sense-effect will be studied as a product of the cultural preconditions which give shape to a landscape’s sensuous feeling in its interaction with the social environment that determines its final meaning. Our study will focus on a sphere that englobes passive and active factors, immediacy and negotiations, surprise and intentionality, that coexist in a peculiar fusion of private and collective units. This analysis, will also take a look at the various hi-tech versions.
