American Landscape Images

Whether you’re crossing the country in a 1950’s era Mustang convertible on the historic Route 66 or traveling via your mouse on the Internet, the American landscape offers some of the most breath-taking vistas in the world. From sea to shining sea, there’s something for everyone. Whether you enjoy the unspoiled wilderness, the hustle and bustle of city life, a secluded beach or somewhere in between, it’s virtually assured that someone, somewhere has captured it on paper.

The American landscapes on Free Vintage Art are generally from vintage postcards, magazines and books. If you’re looking for American Landscape paintings, be sure to check out our sister site The Famous Artists. Here you’ll find a growing collection of less-famous depictions of many of the places that are popular vacation destinations.
