[ noun ] the part of a scene between the foreground and the background

Used in print

(Norman Kent, "The Watercolor Art of Roy M. Mason"...)

Long observation has taught Mason that most landscape can be reduced to three essential planes : a foreground in sharp focus - either a light area with dark accents or a dark one with lights ; a middle_distance often containing the major motif ; and a background , usually a silhouetted form foiled against the sky .
