French landscape garden
The
French landscape garden
is a style of garden inspired by idealized romantic landscapes and the paintings of
Hubert Robert
,
Claude Lorrain
and
Nicolas Poussin
, European ideas about
Chinese gardens
, and the philosophy of
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
. The style originated in England, as the "
English landscape garden
", in the early 18th century and spread to France, where, in the late 18th and early 19th century, it gradually replaced the symmetrical
