Neoclassical landscape architecture

The strongest influence of Neoclassical landscape architecture was on country estates. Most of England’s great parks, which had been in Renaissance and Baroque styles, were transformed into imitations of the classical landscapes of antiquity. Clients and their designers hoped to give physical form to what, in his book on Landscape into art, Sir Kenneth Clark described as ‘the most enchanting dream which has ever consoled mankind, the myth of a Golden Age in which man lived on the fruits of the earth, peacefully, piously, with primitive simplicity’ and with ‘a harmony between man and nature’. How they did it, will be shown in the remainder of this video.
