Morphology

landscape = land (semi-transparent) = 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 became the name for pictures because it originally meant a 'view of the land', so a landscape painting is simply a picture of natural land and scenery.
