Matte Painting:

A matte painting is a painted representation of a landscape, set, or distant location that allows filmmakers to create the illusion of an environment that is not present at the filming location.

VFX or Visual Effects are a way of mixing real film shooting with false or animated images. This it done to get outputs which would be very expensive, dangerous and maybe impossible to get on film.

VFX, now a days is easily accessible through animations and compositing software. Almost every single movie these days uses visual effects for instance, a movie that shows the hero jumping off the ground and flying into the air, is created using VFX.
