A view is what can be seen in a range of vision. View may also be used as a synonym of point of view in the first sense. View may also be used figuratively or with special significance—for example, to imply a scenic outlook or special vantage point:

On men who gaze heart-smitten by the view,
As if all Germany had felt the shock!
