i cant think of one 
tell me as many as you can think of
Look on Google for 19th century American painters- that was the age of frontier living and many many many artists focused on these new landscapes because it was the big deal in the new world.
Don’t focus too much on European landscape painters, mainly because they were seen as the lowest on the chain (religious-history-portrait-landscape) for traditional painters. This time in America, anybody who’s anybody was painting landscapes.
Also, artists like Monet (as mentioned above) DID do landscapes, but not in the sense I think you want. He painted to capture light, not to capture landscapes.
By the way. Thomas Doughty might be a good artist for you to check out. http://www.oceansbridge.com/oil-paintings/section.php?xSec=1485
Also Thomas Cole

There’s an extensive list here:http://www.artcyclopedia.com/subjects/Landscapes.html , most with a sample of their work.
