When you enter a landscape you can feel the wind, hear the birds, and smell the flowers. In Old Man and Child on Buffalo, 12^th century Chinese artist Li Tang closely observed and recorded the details of nature using natural materials such as silk, wood, and ink made from soot, to paint an old man and child wandering by a stream.  We follow their journey as the painting awakens all our senses and stimulates our imaginations. Viewing a landscape painting makes it possible for us to visit and understand new places, other cultures, and different time periods. Visit an art museum and completely experience landscape paintings by feeling the hot sun, listening to the trees blowing in the wind, or touching the cool stream.
