In this essay, I attempt to formulate the concept of embodied landscape, i.e., land­scape which transcends traditional ways of understanding a view or sight, or the paradigms of cultural or participatory landscape. I aim for a conceptualization in which landscape becomes a world of multisensory experience that shapes our relationship with the external world; a realm of immersion so deep that all our active senses are thoroughly engaged, anchoring us in the sen­sations that cocreate the here and now. To substantiate the concept, I refer to two paintings by Józef Chełmoński: Bociany (Storks) and Babie Lato (Indian Summer), chosen in view of their interpretative potential that exceeds a mere genre scene. The works are shown to be instances of landscape embodiment, singular moments of intermingling and interaction of everything that, at a point in time, constitutes the experienced rather than observed landscape.
