This delay suggests that people were first introduced to landscapes in paintingsand then saw landscapes in real life.从landscape 这个词，我们似乎能看到一个模仿自然艺术的例子， 单就这个词的意思发展来说。Landscape 首次记载于1598年， 它是在16世纪期间作为一个绘画术语从荷兰传过来的，当时的荷兰艺术家正在成为自然风景绘画的大师。荷兰语中landscape 这个词早期仅仅意味着“地区，一片地”， 但它后来传入英国时已经有了艺术上的含义“描绘陆上风景的绘画”。有趣的是，从landscape 这个词第一次见于英语文字到这个词表示自然景色的风光，经历了34年。 这一时间上的延迟暗示了人们首先是在绘画时接触自然，然后才是在现实生活中去欣赏风景〔Gaeta〕A city of west-central Italy northwest of Naples on theGulf of Gaeta, an inlet of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
