- Summary:
- "The English Landscape Garden is a beautifully photographed celebration of the best of the 18th century English landscape garden, a quintessentially British art form that influenced the rest of the world. Smooth lawns, glassy pools, cool garden temples, mysterious woodland glades, evocative statuary, the 18th-century English landscape garden offers a transcendent vision of Arcadia, a world of rich escapism peopled by gods and goddesses, young lovers and dairymaids, poets and philosophers. This sumptuous, beautifully photographed volume celebrates this quintessentially British creation, arguably its greatest artform, taking you on a tour of 20 of the finest surviving gardens"--Publisher's description.
