Scenic vistas, winding paths, bucolic meadows, and rustic retreats for solitary contemplation are all components of Romantic gardens. Landscape designers of the Romantic era, from 1700-1900, learned to respect the inherent beauty of nature, and expected it to stir the imagination, clear the mind, and relieve the soul.

The Morgan Library and Museum has assembled an impressive array of trend-setting texts and outstanding works of art that reveal the origins and impact of these notions. This gorgeous book outlines the Romantic Ethos and its presence in England, France, Germany, and in the United States.
