rural scenes
Fields and farmland
Rural scenes are depictions of countryside life and landscapes—farms, fields, villages, pastoral settings away from cities.
The phrase appears most often in art criticism and travel writing: The gallery featured rural scenes by Dutch masters.
Rural scenes typically evoke simplicity, nature, and traditional ways of life, sometimes with nostalgic or idealized overtones.
