The English Rococo Garden (Shire Garden History)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 72 pages. Delightful, eccentric, capricious, bizarre - the English Rococo garden, an in triguing branch of eighteenth-century horticulture, was all these and more. This book relates the components of the Rococo garden to movements in art and archit ecture that had developed in Britain and in Europe, and shows its particular app eal to amateur designers and owners. It was an expression of a period in time, f ollowing Baroque and neo-Palladian and anticipating Romanticism in its sense of freedom. Most of the enchanting scenes depicted in Thomas Robins' watercolours h ave disappeared, but there are many garden buildings from the period that surviv e. The styles which overlap with Rococo - Gothic, chinoiserie, rustic - are also considered here, as is the use of flowers, rocks and shells. The principal desi gners are also profiled, including Sanderson Miller and Thomas Wright. Artikel-Nr. 5169y
