Morphology

landscape = land (opaque) = land + scape

Knowing 'land' and the suffix-like pattern '-scape' suggests a view or scene involving land, but it does not fully predict the specific artistic sense.

Etymology

Landscape for page or screen direction comes from the wide view of land: 'landscape' mode is the wider, horizontal picture, like looking out over a broad scene rather than a tall one.
