Description
Lancelot 'Capability' Brown was a remarkable man who transformed the English countryside into beautiful parks that seemed to be only the work of nature. His clients included half the House of Lords, six Prime Ministers and even royalty. Author Sarah Rutherford tells his triumphant story, uncovering his aims and revealing why he was so successful. The book is illustrated with colour photographs of contemporary sites, historical paintings and garden plans, making it an accessible read for anyone interested in learning more about this influential landscape designer. Brown's legacy can still be seen at many National Trust properties, including Croome Park, Petworth, Berrington, Stowe, Wimpole, Blenheim Palace and Highclere Castle.
