peaceful landscapes

Calm natural vistas

Peaceful landscapes are scenes of nature that evoke calm and tranquility—rolling hills, quiet meadows, still lakes, gentle forests.

The phrase appears most often in art criticism, travel writing, and real estate marketing: The gallery featured peaceful landscapes by Hudson River School painters.

What counts as peaceful varies by culture; some find serenity in open plains, others in enclosed gardens.
