Lake Onetre's extraordinary natural beauty earns it a place amongst the Five Great Scenes of Risevne, and scores of paintings have been done of the area over the centuries. Of the five scenes it is considered the most colourful, while the strange rock formations on the north side of the lake are also famous as studies in form and shape.
A famous convention in classical Risevan painting is to paint four pictures of the lake, each from a different season and a different angle; many famous studies of this type have been done, including one by Gelgor Surinban over 1834 and 1835, and another by Adresil Mude in 1954, of which the "Autumn" painting is one of the most renowned Risevan paintings.
