English landscape

The English landscape refers to a style of landscape design and painting that emphasizes natural beauty and rural scenery, often featuring rolling hills, winding roads, expressive trees, and tranquil water features. Originating in the 18th century, it aimed to create idealized, harmonious views that evoke peace and reflection. This approach reflects a respect for nature’s organic forms, blending human elements subtly. In art and landscape gardening, it highlights the countryside’s artistic and aesthetic qualities, celebrating nature’s serenity and picturesque charm as a source of inspiration and cultural identity.
