L'armonia del linguaggio dei Giardini Paesaggistici nell'Europa di fine Settecento

A comparative analysis of late 18th-century European landscape gardens reveals shared design principles and aesthetic influences rooted in British theoretical frameworks. The study identifies a 'palinsesto'—a layered network of relationships—linking committents across four iconic sites: the Petit Trianon (Versailles), Laeken Royal Park (Brussels), Wörlitz Garden Kingdom (Dessau), and Aranjuez Prince's Garden (Madrid). These gardens, while distinct, embody subjective, impressionistic descriptions by British authors like Walpole and Gilpin, diverging from conventional typological treatises. The research employs disciplinary drawing methodologies to demonstrate how individual elements—guided by these theoretical insights—confer unique identities to each garden, challenging objective documentation in favor of a more nuanced, context-driven representation.
