In the 1660s, the Queen Dowager collaborated with the architect Nikodemus Tessin the Elder in rebuilding the Strömsholm Palace which consists of a massive central building framed by four square towers. This study looks at the palace in detail from the architecture, the interiors and the garden in the French Baroque style. The chapel was completed in 1741 by Carl Harleman and the organ by Daniel Strahle in 1743. Extensive work on the interiors was begun in 1767 which are now considered as outstanding examples of Swedish interior design at the beginning of the neo-classical epoch. Text in Swedish.

Very large bird's eye view on the estate Middaghten at De Steeg, a village near Zuthpen and Arnhem at the province Gelderland. The engraving after a drawing by the artist Adolf van der Laan (Laen), (b. ca. 1684) shows a detailed view on the garden with a.o. two labyrinths. Caption in Dutch and French. The estate, first mentioned in 1190, was owned by the nobleman, diplomat and general Godard van Reede (1644-1703) in 1666 when he married the heiress of Middachten, Philippota van Raesfelt. He was a close friend of William III and he also owned the castle Amerongen which had been built by his father. At the end of the 17th century he commissioned the architect Roman to restore and renovate the estate in Baroque style, but later Steven Vennekool was responsible for the project. The gardens of Versailles were the inspirational source for the design. Nowadays the estate still has the look of the 17th century (although restored), is still inhabited and open for visitors.

Decorative Paintings. Landscape Gardening. Designs for Furniture. William Kent (c. 1685 - 12 April 1748), born in Bridlington, Yorkshire, was an eminent English architect, landscape architect and furniture designer of the early 18th century. He was baptised (on 1 January 1686) as William Cant. Kent's career began as a sign and coach painter who was encouraged to study art, design and architecture by his employer. A group of Yorkshire gentlemen sent Kent for a period of study in Rome, he set sail on 22 July 1709 from Deal, Kent, arriving at Livorno on 15 October. By 18 November he was in Florence staying there until April 1710. Finally setting off for Rome. In 1713 he was awarded the second medal in the second class for painting in the annual competition run by the Accademia di San Luca for his painting of A Miracle of S. Andrea Avellino. He also met several important figures Thomas Coke, later 1st Earl of Leicester, with whom he toured Northern Italy in the summer of 1714 (a tour that led Kent to an appreciation of the architectural style of Andrea Palladio's palaces in Vicenza). Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni in Rome, for whom he apparently painted some pictures, though no records survive. During his stay in Rome, he painted the ceiling of the church of San Giuliano dei Fiamminghi (Church of St. Julian of the Flemings) with the Apotheosis of St. Julian. The most significant meeting was between Kent and Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington. Kent left Rome for the last time in the autumn of 1719, he met Lord Burlington briefly at Genoa, Kent journeying onto Paris where Lord Burlington later joined him for the final journey back to England before the end of the year. As a painter, he displaced Sir James Thornhill in decorating the new state rooms at Kensington Palace, London; for Burlington, he decorated Chiswick House and Burlington House. Kent started practising as an architect relatively late, in the 1730s. He is better remembered as an architect of the revived Palladian style in England.[6] Burlington gave him the task of editing The Designs of Inigo Jones... with some additional designs in the Palladian/Jonesian taste by Burlington and Kent, which appeared in 1727. As he rose through the royal architectural establishment, the Board of Works, Kent applied this style to several public buildings in London, for which Burlington's patronage secured him the commissions: the Royal Mews at Charing Cross (1731-33, demolished in 1830), the Treasury buildings in Whitehall (1733-37), the Horse Guards building in Whitehall, (designed shortly before his death and built 1750-1759). These neo-antique buildings were inspired as much by the architecture of Raphael and Giulio Romano as by Palladio. In country house building, major commissions for Kent were designing the interiors of Houghton Hall (c.1725-35), recently built by Colen Campbell for Sir Robert Walpole, but at Holkham Hall the most complete embodiment of Palladian ideals is still to be found; there Kent collaborated with Thomas Coke, the other "architect earl", and had for an assistant Matthew Brettingham, whose own architecture would carry Palladian ideals into the next generation. A theatrically Baroque staircase and parade rooms in London, at 44 Berkeley Square, are also notable. Kent's domed pavilions were erected at Badminton House and at Euston Hall. Kent could provide sympathetic Gothic designs, free of serious antiquarian tendencies, when the context called; he worked on the Gothic screens in Westminster Hall and Gloucester Cathedral. As a landscape designer, Kent was one of the originators of the English landscape garden, a style of 'natural' gardening that revolutionised the laying out of gardens and estates. His projects included Chiswick House, Stowe, Buckinghamshire, from about 1730 onwards, designs for Alexander Pope's villa garden at Twickenham, for Queen Caroline at Richmond and notably at Rousham House, Oxfordshire, where he created a sequence of Arcadian set-pieces punctuated with temples, cascades, grottoes, Palladian bridges and exedra, opening the field for the larger scale achievements of Capability Brown in the following generation. Smaller Kent works can be found at Shotover House, Oxfordshire, including a faux Gothic eyecatcher and a domed pavilion. His all-but-lost gardens at Claremont, Surrey, have recently been restored. It is often said that he was not above planting dead trees to create the mood he required. Kent's only real downfall was said to be his lack of horticultural knowledge and technical skill (which people like Charles Bridgeman possessed - whose impact on Kent is often underestimated), but his naturalistic style of design was his major contribution to the history of landscape design. Claremont, Stowe, and Rousham are places where their joint efforts can be viewed. Stowe and Rousham are Kent's most famous works. At the latter, Kent elaborated on Bridgeman's 1720s design for the property, adding walls and arches to catch the viewer's eye. At Stowe, Kent used his Italian experience, particularly with the Palladian Bridge. At both sites Kent incorporated his naturalistic approach. His stately furniture designs complemented his interiors: he designed furnishings for Hampton Court Palace (1732), Lord Burlington's Chiswick House (1729), London, Thomas Coke's Holkham Hall, Norfolk, Robert Walpole's pile at Houghton, for Devonshire House in London, and at Rousham. The royal barge he designed for Frederick, Prince of Wales can still be seen at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. In his own age, Kent's fame and popularity were so great that he was employed to give designs for all things, even for ladies' birthday dresses, of which he could know nothing and which he decorated with the five classical orders of architecture. These and other absurdities drew upon him the satire of William Hogarth who, in October 1725, produced a Burlesque on Kent's Altarpiece at St. Clement Danes. According to Horace Walpole, Kent "was a painter, an architect, and the father of modern gardening. In the first character he was below mediocrity; in the second, he was a restorer of the science; in the last, an original, and the inventor of an art that realizes painting and improves nature. Mahomet imagined an elysium, Kent created many." (Wikipedia)

Historic gardens are tourist attractions and, for many regions, an interesting source of income where "nights at the palace',' son et lumiere, concerts and excursions can be staged. Gardens are also, however, labile works of art, subject to the laws of biology, and taking responsibility for them requires committed efforts by a range of specialist disciplines and the support of politicians and society at large. In this publication to commemorate the eightieth birthday of Professor Dr Dieter Hennebo, the eminent teacher of History of Garden Art and Garden Conservation, 47 internationally-respected experts on the history of gardens, art and culture, on landscape architecture and heritage conservation, and on the environmental and natural sciences, write on issues of care and preservation, changes in use, environmental dangers and the tensions between nature conservation and monument preservation. The illustrations, along with historical garden plans, engravings, paintings and diagrams, include large-format views of gardens and landscapes that do full justice to the beauties of these grounds.

This book describes and illustrates funerary architecture, monuments, memorials, and mausolea, together with the landscapes of cemeteries, from classical antiquity to the 20th century. The subjects of funerary architecture, of commemorative structures, and of cemeteries have been neglected by writers until fairly recently. This book describes funerary traditions, derived from early civilizations, from the Graeco-Roman world, and from Judaeo-Christian practice. In one broad sweep the author covers a wide range of chronology and geographical area, including the highly elaborate cemeteries created from the 18th century onwards. Includes the following articles: The importance of the architecture and artefacts of death in ancient cultures / The flowering of funerary art in the Middle Ages / The Renaissance and Baroque periods of funerary architecture associated with churches, and their aftermath / The burial crisis; overcrowded churchyards; the first fruits of reform; and the first modern cemeteries / Mausolea and other buildings to celebrate death, form the Renaissance period to the twentieth century / John Claudius Loudon and the garden Cemetery movement / Other great nineteenth-century cemeteries in America and Europe / Problems of disposal: the development of cremation and of buildings associated with the burning of the dead / War cemeteries and memorials / The buildings, cemeteries, gardens and sculptures associated with death in the Graeco-Roamn world / Some grander buildings to celebrate individuals and national events //

Umschlag leicht berieben, sonst gutes Exemplar. - For nearly a decade, Geoffrey James has been photographing the gardens of Italy, portraying in extraordinary panoramic black-and-white photographs the scale, design, and architecture of these glorious places. His camera is a 1920s Kodak Panoramic, which produces an especially wide image - just short of 11 inches - with almost no distortion. In The Italian Garden 93 of these stunning photographs are reproduced in duotone, providing the reader with a fresh look at the highest form of European garden art. Inspired by the ancients who believed that the garden should be a balm for the intellect, the great landscape architects of the Italian Renaissance created gardens to enhance man's poetic kinship with nature. The heyday of Italian gardens spanned the years 1550-1700, when they became known for their masterly integration of natural elements with theaters, mazes, sculptures, water works, and mechanical songbirds. By the turn of the eighteenth century, they influenced gardens throughout the world. The Italian Garden features twenty-three of Italy's gardens, from the early Renaissance through the Mannerist and Baroque periods. The gardens have been grouped geographically and include such important places as the Boboli in Florence, the Villa Medici in Rome, and Villa Lante, the most perfect Renaissance garden in Italy; lesser-known masterpieces shown are Villa Chigi near Siena and Giardino Buonaccorsi in the Marches. Through these moving photographs the gardens are reinvested with their original force and magic, permitting the viewer to contemplate them much as their original creators had intended: as canvases upon which to mount a discourse between art and the landscape.
