Picturesque is something beyond the beautiful and unusual. In painting it's landscape enhanced by dramatic sky. The examples are: A view of the Roman Campagna from Tivoli, evening by Claude Lorrain 1644-1645 and The Chancel and Crossing of Tintern Abbey, Looking towards the East Window by J. M. W. Turner, 1794.
