Description
|
|
|
|
Richly illustrated with nearly 500 color photographs (up to 17 x 10 inches), this book offers a wide-ranging account of how garden design developed in Europe from antiquity, discussing its most important periods and theories with examples all the way back to Eden and other gardens of the world's creation stories. The book traces man's passion for shaping the abundance of nature throughout history, while characterizing the styles of each era, including sacred groves and gardens in ancient Greece and Rome, the hidden hortus conclusus of the Middle Ages, and the Moorish gardens of Spain. There is a particular focus on European gardens of the Renaissance, Baroque, Enlightenment, and Romantic eras—about 1500 to 1850.
