Cropping and Enlarging for "life size"

Hopefully I can describe this well enough to make sense. So basically one day I was at a gallery and the photographer had an amazing landscape, and it was printed quite big. Standing in front of it, it was just about the right size, that if felt as if you were actually standing there looking out a large window to the beautiful landscape beyond.
That got me thinking, what if I were to try something like that but with a smaller print? What if I were to hang something like an 11x17 and when viewed at the proper distance was like a small window looking out?
Does anybody know of a proper technique to crop/enlarge a landscape image so that even it was a smaller print, the image would appear to be in an appropriate scale for life size?
I imagine it would depend on the distance to the subject and the viewing distance. Anyway, thoughts welcome!
