seascapes

Paintings of oceans

Seascapes are visual representations of the sea—paintings, photographs, or views depicting ocean scenery.

The term parallels landscape but focuses on marine subjects: waves, coastlines, ships, horizons where water meets sky.

Turner's seascapes capture the drama of storms at sea.

The hotel room offered stunning seascapes from every window.
