Landscape art imitating nature grew as cities swallowed the countryside

Evidence

The conscientious imitation of landscape in music corresponds historically to the development of landscape painting, which seems to have been first cultivated by the Flemish painters of the Renaissance and developed into the principal genre of painting in the nineteenth century. Such developments are explicable only as a result of the displacement of the art gallery farther and farther from the natural landscape in the hearts of growing cities. — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 370
