Baroque landscape architecture

Avenues are the outstanding difference between Renaissance and Baroque planning. But in England they were often additions to Renaissance layouts rather than the organising principle of designs for parks and gardens. Sixtus the Fifth, having experimented with axial lines in his own garden, at Montalto, applied the idea to the centre of Rome when he became Pope in 1521. In the seventeenth century Andre Le Notre gave Paris its first avenues and Christopher Wren used the idea in his unadopted plan for rebuilding London after the 1666 Great Fire. London’s first avenues were in its Royal Parks. Pierre L’Enfant’s avenue plan for Washington DC was drawn up in 1791 and London’s Mall was changed from a park walk to a ceremonial avenue in 1913. As shown in the following video, most English avenues were additions to Renaissance gardens.
