The British Landscape 1920-1950

Product Information

Spring flowers and birdsong render woodland full of colour and noise making walking in woodland during spring a delightful experience. On the woodland floor look out for colourful bluebells and other delicate flower species attuned to the dappled light filtering down through the canopy, and flitting between them a range of indigenous butterflies. At dusk you might bump into a Badger emerging from its sett, or see deer of various species wandering and foraging. Brown's contribution was to simplify the garden by eliminating geometric structures, alleys, and parterres near the house and replacing them with rolling lawns and extensive views out to isolated groups of trees, making the landscape seem even larger. "He sought to create an ideal landscape out of the English countryside." [13] He created artificial lakes and used dams and canals to transform streams or springs into the illusion that a river flowed through the garden.

Characteristics of the English garden abroad [ edit ] 1803 painting of an English garden's elements by Johann Rombauer Simon Roberts is a renowned British landscape photographer who has made his way into the art world. He is well known for his large-format, tableaux-like photographs of British settings. Roberts is now a Leica instructor for landscape photography. Cliffs provide a unique vertical habitat that is on the one hand exposed to the elements yet on the other it is difficult of access for predators. Hardy seabirds such as enormous goose-sized Gannets, dapper Guillemots and Razorbills, and gliding Northern Fulmars make cliffs their summer home, breeding there in safety yet with easy access to the sea and its resources. In some spots there may be colourful Atlantic Puffins too. Norfolk uses landscapes to talk about issues that have transcended different eras. This is done by using the timeless nature of landscape photography and putting it into context.

There is no surprise that she is everywhere, as her work is truly ubiquitous. She photographs anything that finds itself in the landscape, from wildlife to derelict machines. Ralevska has her own unique style. She is a photographer who is very aware of the landscape and what can be done with it. Humphry Repton [ edit ] View of Wentworth Woodhouse, South Yorkshire by Humphry Repton, before proposed landscaping View of Wentworth Woodhouse, South Yorkshire after proposed landscaping, with 'flap' opened to show new lake and bridge As an official war artist, Piper created some of his most sombre and vital works recording the damage sustained by historic buildings and monuments. During the 1940s his work evolved to embrace a style of painting informed by artists of the romantic era including JMW Turner that retained many of the visual innovations developed in his 1930s abstract period. After the war, Piper received many public and applied arts commissions. Of all of these, his major stained glass window designs including for Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral had the closest relationship with his painterly practice, signalling the productive convergence of his interests in art, architecture, the church, and the regeneration of heritage traditions in the modern era.

Mathia is an American photographer who has been published in many photography and outdoor magazines. Every scene is made with a feeling that you can step into the landscape. There are no artificial colors or HDR effects. Just nature and natural light. I would say he is one of the best landscape photographers. Through her post-processing techniques, she comes up with surreal scenes. These scenes portray landscapes and how they appear when we idealize them in our heads.

The new style also spread to Germany. The central English Grounds of Wörlitz, in the Principality of Anhalt, was laid out between 1769 and 1773 by Prince Leopold III, based on the models of Claremont, Stourhead and Stowe Landscape Gardens. Another notable example was The Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany, created in 1789 by Sir Benjamin Thompson (1753–1814). Beyond the farmland, grassland and heathlands lie the wildest habitats of all - the uplands, moorlands and mountains of the higher parts of northern England, Scotland and Wales. In wetter areas bogs of peat have accumulated forming tremendous sinks for carbon and holding water like a sponge; here several species of shorebird breed, and the ground may be quartered by hunting Hen Harriers and Short-eared Owls.

Carla Regler is a British-based photographer who is very skilled in her craft. Her skills have led her to give photography tours across the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Although JMW Turner died in 1851, his artwork is still seen as contemporary and a extensive collection of his work is housed at the Tate Britain. Farrer is an award-winning photographer who has published works in various locations. His skill in the crafting of landscapes has brought him to offer his own workshops. These are all done in the UK, where he is based. He uses the landscape to talk about the world. This seems like such a simple concept, yet it is what he chooses to photograph that makes it effective. His work is predominantly shot with wide-angle lenses. When used effectively, it is easy to imagine yourself standing at the foot of the scene he is depicting. This is something Farrer does well.But the coveted title of Landscape Photographer of the Year 2023 goes to Mik Dogherty for his evocative picture of the aftermath of a heath fire in the New Forest National Park. Awards Founder Charlie Waite praises the 'sheer striking beauty' of the photo which he says 'transports us to a place of transcendent emotional experience'. The English garden usually included a lake, sweeps of gently rolling lawns set against groves of trees, and recreations of classical temples, Gothic ruins, bridges, and other picturesque architecture, designed to recreate an idyllic pastoral landscape. The work of Lancelot "Capability" Brown was particularly influential. By the end of the 18th century the English garden was being imitated by the French landscape garden, and as far away as St. Petersburg, Russia, in Pavlovsk, the gardens of the future Emperor Paul. It also had a major influence on the forms of public parks and gardens which appeared around the world in the 19th century. [5] The English landscape garden was usually centred on the English country house, and many examples in the United Kingdom are popular visitor attractions today.

The landscape and infrastructure make the country particularly suitable for walkers, ramblers and hikers, allowing them to enjoy the countryside up close. For hikers and mountaineers the heights of the peaks seem unimposing - after all the highest mountain, Ben Nevis, rises only to 1,345 meters - yet the mixed montane landscape, combined with the British climate, provides ample opportunities for a challenge amid dramatic scenery. Ben Nevis is the highest peak in the British Isles History He now creates still photographs that are aptly named the Still series. His work takes a minimalist approach to landscape photography.
