tájképeket

Tájkép is a Hungarian noun meaning a depiction of a landscape. The plural tájképek refers to landscapes in general, and tájképeket is the accusative plural form used when landscapes are the object of an action, for example in sentences describing painting or photographing them.

In art and photography, tájkép denotes the genre focused on exterior scenery—fields, forests, mountains, rivers, skies—often prioritizing natural light, atmosphere, and spatial relationships. Works may be traditional and realistic, or more stylized and idealized, with varying emphasis on mood, scale, and composition.

Historically, landscape as a genre emerged in early modern Europe and evolved through movements such as Romanticism, Realism, and modernism. In Hungarian art, tájkép became an established subject in the 19th century as part of broader European trends, and it continued to develop in the 20th century. The term also covers landscape photography, where the depiction of outdoor scenes is central to the work.

In contemporary usage, tájkép remains a standard category in museums, catalogs, and auctions. The term appears in art criticism, education, and collection descriptions, and is widely used in travel, nature photography, and media to denote images or works that depict the natural or rural environment.
