Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In 1752 Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown was commissioned by the 2nd Earl of Egremont to transform Petworth Park in the new style of the English landscape garden. Brown’s association with Petworth left a lasting legacy, a landscape which 250 years on retains at its heart his vision for a perfected, romantic version of nature. Over the course of a decade Brown utterly transformed Petworth Park. Through the prism of three years of archaeological research at Petworth Park it is possible to discuss in depth the scale and execution of his designs there, to examine how these fit into the wider context of the park’s development before Brown and also the changes which were made after his departure. Brown’s creation at Petworth is one of contrast and sometimes contradiction which can be read in different ways: was he a visionary, a vandal, or both? | |||||||||
