Picturing the Americas: Landscape Painting from Tierra del Fuego to the Arctic was a 2015–16 exhibition collaboration, supported by the Terra Foundation, between three organizing institutions: Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo, Brazil; the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada; and the Terra Foundation for American Art.
The exhibition examined landscape painting made between 1830 and 1930 in a pan-American context, placing special emphasis on the art of Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, the United States, and Venezuela. It was co-organized as a Terra Collection Initiative.
The exhibition was accompanied by a website and a catalogue distributed by Yale University Press.
