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. In the Netherlands the landscape-architect Lucas Pieters Roodbaard (1782–1851) designed several gardens and parks in this style. [ citation needed] The style was introduced to Sweden by Fredrik Magnus Piper. Motivated by his growing interest in modern art, in June 1934 Piper travelled to Paris, visiting the studios of artists including Jean Hélion, Alexander Calder and Cesar Domela. Following this visit, Piper began making his abstract constructions and paintings. He also experimented with the modern style to create works depicting bathers. These works demonstrate the influence of the Parisian avant-garde with which Piper had become acquainted. The use of colour, however, corresponds to that found in his earlier work and, although abstract, the paintings retain figurative and representational elements connected to the English landscape.

Even though farmland now dominates the British landscape, and although many farmland species are in serious decline, this habitat is not devoid of wildlife. In fact, depending on local farming practices some species thrive here.The canonical European English park contains a number of Romantic elements. Always present is a pond or small lake with a pier or bridge. Overlooking the pond is a round or hexagonal pavilion, often in the shape of a monopteros, a Roman temple. Sometimes the park also has a "Chinese" pavilion. Other elements include a grotto and imitation ruins. 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.

see Wybe Kuitert "Japanese Robes, Sharawadgi, and the landscape discourse of Sir William Temple and Constantijn Huygens" Garden History, 41, 2: (2013) p.172 There are over 500 known artworks of John Nash, many of which depict the landscapes he encountered. These landscapes ranged from China in his “China Clay Country” painting to the British countryside in his painting titled “Cornfield.” As an artist with no formal training and not many influences to speak of, John Nash depicts landscapes through an untainted lens. His signature style, which sees him painting landscapes in the evening is indicative of his time as a war artist. The British landscape is varied, rolling, undulating with hills and valleys, but unlike New Zealand and Japan, these islands of Albion have no alpine areas. Nevertheless, the landscape is assorted and exciting, supporting a wide range of habitats and a great diversity of wildlife making this a popular destination among naturalists.Chang, Elizabeth Hope (2010).

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. 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. A second style of English garden, which became popular during the 20th century in France and northern Europe, is based on the style of the late 19th-century English cottage garden, [33] with abundant mixed planting of flowers, intended to appear largely unplanned. a b Stepanova, Jekaterina (2010).

The woods become quiet during winter, but then the shapes of the many deciduous trees and their richly patterned trunks are fully exposed and accessible and this is when squirrels (the native Red and the introduced North American Grey) are more easily spotted. A Eurasian skylark Grasslands, Meadows & HeathlandIn the 1730s, William Kent and James Gibbs were appointed to work with Bridgeman, who died in 1738. Kent remade the lake in a more natural shape, and created a new kind of garden, which took visitors on a tour of picturesque landscapes. It eventually included a Palladian bridge (1738); a Temple of Venus (1731) in the form of a Palladian villa; a Temple of Ancient Virtues (1737), with statues of famous Greeks and Romans; a Temple of British Worthies (1734–1735), with statues of British heroes; and a Temple of Modern Virtues, which was deliberately left in ruins, which contained a headless statue of Robert Walpole, Cobham's political rival.

Romanticism artwork is precise and detailed. However, as Turner’s developed his style, his artwork began taking on a less defined approach, some suggest that this was partly due to his failing eyesight. 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.Laird, Mark (1999).
