The Picturesque Garden in Europe /anglais
Traces the development throughout the 18th century the course of the 'picturesque' landscape, which seemed to the experienced viewer either composed after a painting or designed to be the subject of one; in such landscapes natural features were exploited or rearranged, and might be enriched by Classical, Chinese or otherwise exotic ornamental structures. The two key players were England and France; Hunt further samples the picturesque garden's diffusion in Scandinavia, Russia, the German-speaking lands and Italy up to the 1840s.
