In this episode, we explore the idea of the picturesque through the story of Lake George and the artists and writers who were moved by its dramatic landscape. Jasheena and Daniella examine whether beauty is something that exists naturally in the world or something that viewers create through imagination and framing. Our conversation looks closely at how perception, culture, and artistic traditions influence the way people judge a landscape as beautiful. By discussing the difference between seeing nature as a picture and seeing it through the mind of a painter, we invite listeners to question how much of beauty comes from the eye and how much comes from the mind. Join us as we unpack this timeless debate and encourage a deeper way of looking at the world.
