To see beauty everywhere in nature is not so very difficult.

It is all about us where the work of uncivilized man has not come in to destroy it.

Artists are people who by nature and by education have acquired the power to see beauty in what they look at, and then to set it down on paper or canvas, or in some other material, so that other people can see it too.
It seems strange that at one time the beauty of natural landscape was hardly perceived by any one at all.

People lived in the beautiful country and scarcely knew that it was beautiful.

Then came the time when the beauty of landscape began to be felt by the nicest people.
They began to put it into their poetry, and to talk and write about it, and to display it in landscape pictures.
