- catalog abstract ""This book looks at the garden in the West, from the fourteenth century to the present day, as an art form, an expression of the taste of societies and individuals, as a project and an object of design, over various periods and cultures, focusing in particular on the key moments in its artistic development through the most important and interesting creations, figures and artists as they cast light upon particular aspects of a period, a style, or a country. In view of the close relationship between the garden and the other visual arts, each chapter also examines the changes in the methods of representing, and hence of perceiving, the garden, with a section analysing the various techniques used to depict it: from late-medieval illuminations to the bird's-eye views of the Baroque period, down to the use of photography in the twentieth century."--Jacket.".
