English. In the early 19th century French scenic wallpaper rapidly gained popularity as the preferred type of interior décor in the homes of country noblemen and rich merchants. The main characteristic of this type of wallpaper is the continuous and unbroken depiction of panoramic scenes that feature exotic countries, prevalent outdoor hobbies and scenes from the natural world, transforming each room into an almost illusory space. Thus the nature was carried indoors in a rather poetic way. It has been established that scenic wallpaper was used in a number of interiors found in the territory of present-day Latvia. This article will present a detailed analysis of these interiors.

To raksturīgākā īpašība – nepārtraukts panorāmas skata atveidojums – pārveidoja telpu par iluzoru vidi, kurā dominēja eksotisku vietu, iecienītu brīvdabas izklaižu un dabasskatu atveidojums. Tās poētiski literārā veidā ienesa dabu istabā. Arī Latvijas teritorijā zināmi daži piemēri, kuros telpu rotājumam izmantotas ainavu tapetes. To detalizētai analīzei autore pievērsīsies turpmākajā tekstā.
