The name Lancelot ` Capability` Brown has become synonymous with the eighteenth-century English landscape garden: between 1751 & 1783 his consultancy handled over 170 major commissions. Ruthlessly efficient, he could stake out the `capabilities` of a particular terrain within an hour on horseback. Rising to the position of Master Gardener to George III, his trademark features included bald lawns, clumped trees, lakes & enclosing belts of woodland on the estate`s perimeter. With this standard park formula Brown & his followers held the commercial monopoly on garden design well into the following century, resisting the more rugged topography advocated by Richard Payne Knight`s new generation of Romantics. ...

Widely acknowledged as the most influential l&- scape 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 parkl&. Brown s ambition was to bring out of a landscape the best of its potential rather than impose his own ideas upon it. His designs are organic, weaving gestures of colour & perspective into the features that the country already afforded. So natural are his designs, & so perfectly do they complement the houses within them, that for many a Capability Brown landscape is the epitome of the English estate. His gardens & park- lands as much as the houses themselves would become icons of British country life. Published to coincide with the tercentenary of his birth, this remarkable book illuminates fifteen of Brown s most celebrated landscapes. To love the great English estates is to love the settings with which Brown surrounded them from idyllic parklands at Milton & Broadlands to structured landscapes around iconic houses at Blenheim, Burghley, Wake- field, & Chatsworth. With photography commissioned for the book, & including rarely seen archival drawings that shed light on Brown s process, this book serves as a guide to Britain s most beloved landscapes & an exploration of the masterful mind behind their creation. ...
