riverscape
Flowing water scene
A riverscape is a view or depiction of river scenery—the river itself along with its banks, surrounding landscape, and atmospheric qualities.
The term parallels landscape and seascape, referring both to actual river views and to artistic representations of them: The painter specialized in riverscapes of the Hudson Valley.
