In celebration of his 300th year, a definitive survey of Capability Brown's most famous gardens and landscapes in Britain. Brown's ambition was to bring out of a landscape the best of its potential rather than impose his own ideas upon it. Widely acknowledged as the most influential landscape designer of his age, Lancelot "Capability" Brown was to England what Frederick Law Olmsted was to America--responsible for shaping the very ideal of the nation's parkland.
So natural are his designs, and so perfectly do they complement the houses within them, that for many a Capability Brown landscape is the epitome of the English estate. His designs are organic, weaving gestures of color and perspective into the features that the country already afforded. His gardens and parklands--as much as the houses themselves--would become icons of British country life.
