ENGLISH LANDSCAPE GARDENS

ABOUT THE ENGLISH GARDENS
![Page 3: English garden](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062306/58ec8a031a28abbf1e8b458d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The English landscape garden, also called English landscape park or simply the English garden, is a style of “landscape" garden which emerged in England in the early 18th century, and spread across Europe, replacing the more formal, symmetrical French gardens (jardin à la française) of the 17th century as the principal gardening style of Europe.
The English garden presented an idealized view of nature. It drew inspiration from paintings of landscapes by Claude Lorraine and Nicolas Poussin, and, in the Anglo-Chinese garden, from the classic Chinese gardens of the East, which had recently been described by European travellers.
The English garden usually included a lake, sweeps of gently rolling lawns set against groves of trees, and recreations of classical temples, Gothic ruins, bridges, and other picturesque architecture, designed to recreate an idyllic pastoral landscape.
By the end of the 18th century the English garden was being imitated by the French landscape garden.
It also had a major influence on the form of the public parks and gardens which appeared around the world in the 19th century

The shift
Lines were no longer straight, paths curve and wander, and parterres are replaced by grass.
Trees were planted in clusters rather than in straight lines, and rounded lakes replaced the rectangular ponds of the earlier style.
The garden became open, a park joining the house to the outside world rather than a carefully nurtured refuge from it.
This natural style begun by Kent evolved into the "landscape garden" under Kent's pupil and son-in-law, Lancelot "Capability" Brown. Brown, whose curious nickname came from his habit of telling prospective clients that their gardens showed "great capabilities", had an enormous effect upon the course of English gardening and architectural style.
Before the introduction of English landscape, nature was viewed as dangerous , cranky .
The English landscape completely changed this view to appreciate and value the natural world.
