The landscape park in Europe and Russia. From education to romanticism

The landscape style of gardening that arose in England at the beginning of the 18th century became one of the main achievements of the culture of education. The “landscape revolution” changed the former, regular gardening systems - in Britain, a “decorated farm” and a Chinese garden appeared with "pleasant, terrifying and enchanting" scenes. The French landscape park, inherited the features of the court rococo, developed the simple and natural features of neoclassicism and was inspired by the poetry of the ruins. Great garden and park ensembles appear in modern times in Germany, Poland, Austria.
The art of Russian parks arranged in the age of education under Catherine II was largely owed to English patterns.
After the European journey, Paul I conceived to arrange a Gatchinsky park on the model of the French estate of Chantili, and his wife, to put a particle of his childhood in Pavlovsk - Park Etup. At the end of the 18th century, the landscape park of Europe and Russia is romanticized.
Articles of art historians and museum curators reveal the theme of European gardens and parks using the example of painting, graphics, sculptures, architectural drawings, plans and household items. This book, an album and a study under one cover, will help to imagine and understand an interesting cultural phenomenon - a landscape park.
