In the west, landscape representation began being developed in the 14th century and the genre of landscape painting was established in the 17th century. In Holland, realistic landscape painting was perfected. However, Nature was still praised as God's Creation and was studied as a second Bible. On the other hand, in Italy, ideal landscape painting was brought about by Annibale Carracci and refined by Nicolas Poussin and Claude Lorrain. The tradition of noble and grand representations of nature was then passed down to the 19th century as historical landscape painting. It was during the Fronde (1648-53) that historical painter Poussin created landscape paintings prolifically. For Poussin, a neostoic, nature was not always a place of delight. The artist found analogies between humans, the natural world and the world of politics and depicted the storm as a trick of Fortune. In his storm landscapes, the people without wisdom were criticized as a bad examples. In the 17th century, even if it was painted realistically, nature was not always aesthetically appealing, but it was still deciphered in analogous relations.
