Description
Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) was one of the most important figures in English garden history. By reference to the writing of Vitruvius, Alberti and Palladio and by utilizing his innate skills as an artist, Vanbrugh combined the science of Vitruvian geometry with the philosophy of the Ancients to create a new English landscape. The text is illustrated throughout with a hundred colour images, including many eighteenth-century maps and plans which have not previously been published, alongside geometrical analysis and computer-generated reconstructions of Vanbrughs landscapes.
