Why have landscape oil paintings become so popular?

Robert McKendrick / Comment on this

Landscape oil painting has quickly become one of the most popular painting types in our modern era.  Why? 

 

Is it because for centuries, people have been trying to bring a piece of the out of doors, indoors!

It may be in the form of plants in pots,

Red rock and western landscape,

or pictures of places brought into our living rooms to give us either something to remember, or something to strive for.

These all bring our outdoor, natural surroundings, inside, to keep us renewed, refreshed and invigorated with anticipation of our next trip out side!  As more of us live within large metropolitan area's, spending time in a park, a garden, or just outside in the fresh air becomes more and more important to us.
