Canadian landscapes

Maple country scenery

The vast, varied terrain of Canada as a subject of artistic, photographic, or descriptive attention.

The phrase evokes wilderness imagery—Rocky Mountain peaks, boreal forests, prairie expanses, Arctic tundra, Maritime coastlines.

Canadian landscapes have particular association with the Group of Seven painters who made such scenes central to national identity: The gallery featured Canadian landscapes from the 1920s.
