Abstract: Investigators are interested in the interdisciplinary relationships and interactions between professions and how these knowledge bases influence each another. Such interaction has occurred between landscape painting and landscape architectural planning and design. The representation of landscapes by artists has assisted in the management of the landscape. In our study, we present three examples: the Alentejo area of Portugal painted by a variety of landscape painters, the Yellowstone area of the United States of America painted by Thomas Moran, and Millennimu City Park in Kaifeng, China featuring a setting recreating a Song Dynasty painting by Zhang Zeduan. The analysis of the Alentejo is examined through structural elements of the painting, revealing the essential perceived composition and characterization of the landscape. The story of the Yellowstone paintings is presented as color documentation of landscape images for the American federal government and ae!
sthetic evaluation during an era when color photography did not yet exist. The results suggest the perception of the Alentejo is comprised of a hilly oak savanna of green and brown, fenceless, with a building or two on the horizon. This landscape character is now appreciated, preserved, and managed in part by various governmental agencies and NGOs. The Yellowstone region is a surreal environment composed of unusual colors, landscape formations, geysers, and hot-springs, where the watercolor paintings contributed to the federal formation of an iconic national park. The historic scroll painting by Zhang Zeduan is 17 feet long depicting life in the Northern Song Dynasty capital during the riverside festival. The Millennium City Park, celebrates the images from this painting. Paintings from each of these areas throughout the world have influence current day landscape practices and artifacts.
