pastoral landscape
Bucolic country view
A pastoral landscape depicts idealized rural scenery—rolling meadows, grazing livestock, shepherds tending flocks.
The term comes from art history, where pastoral landscapes romanticize country life as peaceful and uncorrupted by civilization.
The phrase extends to any serene countryside view: We drove through a pastoral landscape of green hills and stone fences.
