    The English garden emerged in the early 18th century as a style that presented an idealized view of nature, replacing the formal French gardens. It drew inspiration from landscape paintings and Chinese gardens, featuring winding paths, clusters of trees, and open spaces connected to the surrounding countryside. Key designers like William Kent and Lancelot 'Capability' Brown incorporated elements like lakes, lawns, grottos, and bridges to create a more naturalistic style that was meant to appreciate the beauty of the natural world.

    ENGLISH GARDENS

    LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ( 6 TH S E M ) BY: Asst Prof Ar CHETANA R


    ENGLISH GARDENS

    • Style of "landscape" garden which emerged in England in the early 18th century, and spread
    across Europe, replacing the more formal, symmetrical jardin à la française of the 17th
    century as the principal gardening style of Europe.

    • Presented an idealized view of nature.

    • Inspiration - paintings of landscapes by Claude Lorrain and Nicolas poussin, and from the
    classic Chinese gardens of the east, which had recently been described by European
    travellers and were realized in the Anglo Chinese garden.

    WHY THE SHIFT?

    LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ( 6 TH S E M ) BY: Asst Prof Ar CHETANA R


    ENGLISH GARDENS

    • Before English landscape style was introduced, nature was viewed as dangerous and cranky.

    • This style completely changed this perspective to appreciate and value the natural world.

    • William Kent, Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown

    STYLE

    • Lines – no longer straight, paths –


    curve, wandering, grass lawns
    instead of parterres.

    • Trees – clusters instead of straight


    line.

    • Rounded lake instead of rectangular


    ponds.

    • Open garden – park adjoining the


    house to the outside world rather
    than a carefully nurtured refuge
    from it.
