While often represented ad background, nature would only become a full Western genre in its own right during the religious wars between Catholics and protestants with Altendorfer, while in China it was ancient, especially in the form of cartoon-like scrolls. IN Islamic art, with its ban of depicting living creatures -still exceptions were allowed, as in Persian tapestry- nature was rather suggested in geometric motives and color patterns.
