Осторожно, поручик! Живописный пейзаж - picturesque. Когда что-то не являющее непосредственно живописью, но обладающее некоторыми качествами живописи (живописностью), последние - painterly. Пишу здесь а не в дискусси, ибо не хочу связываться: джент давший ответ picturesque - очень агрессивный.

Peer comment(s):

agree The Misha : I am not a great fan of graphics (well, OK, Escher is a separate story), but consider me convinced. And again, never mind the agressive gent. We all know that one about mean people
