The dramatic landscape of Mexico has inspired generations of Mexican painters. In the art of the past, Mexican landscape held the secondary role of scenic backdrop for historic and religious themes. Over the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, however, attitudes changed toward the landscape, and it became a venerated subject for painting.
El dramático paisaje de México ha inspirado a generaciones de pintores mexicanos. En el arte del pasado, el paisaje mexicano tenía el papel secundario de telón de fondo escénico para temas históricos y religiosos. Sin embargo, a lo largo de los siglos XIX y XX, las actitudes hacia el paisaje cambiaron y se convirtió en un tema venerado para la pintura.
