Nature is not only the trees, leaves, and, soil but, it encompasses a wide variety of things that cover both physical, mental, and even spiritual elements. Most important to Feige is that “Nature is infinitely large and varied”, omnipresent throughout the world (9).

I agree with Dürer’s argumentation as the remarks indeed reflect his long-lasting fascination with the depiction of natural forms in art, especially later in his career after two journeys to Italy. Further, I maintain that Dürer’s representation of nature does not lie in mere imitation.
Introduction The architectural composition of the University of Toronto draws on the analogical and theoretical primes of nature and artistic simulation. With regard to this, the structural constructions of the Toronto University’s buildings are a representation of original sections of constructive elements of earth, wood, and stone.

Nature is easily projected onto, as it allows for a sense of peacefulness and escapism. Due to its ability to evoke an emotional reaction from the masses, many writers have glorified it through various methods, including describing its endless beauty and utilizing it as a symbol for spirituality.

These tributes disseminate a fixed interpretation of the natural world, one full of meaning and other worldly connections. In “Against Nature,” Joyce Carol Oates strips away this guise given to the environment and replaces it with a harsher reality.
American Transcendentalism was highly inspired by Romanticism, and therefore they have many similarities. However, there are some differences, especially in their ideas of religion and God.
