Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'breathtaking' (extremely beautiful or astonishing) modifies 'landscape' (a view), so a 'breathtaking landscape' is a view that is extremely beautiful or awe-inspiring. This adjective+noun combination follows normal English composition and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the overall meaning.
Etymology
Breathtaking landscape comes from the simple picture of a view so beautiful it 'takes your breath away'. That's why it means a scene that is very beautiful and makes you feel amazed.
