The world's most stunning remote locations revealed in lavish photo book - from spellbinding Cornish beaches to a crooked forest in Denmark and jaw-dropping mountains in the U.S

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.Trey Ratcliff is a famous photographer based in America who has been almost everywhere. With so many social media followers, it is no surprise that many people see him as influential. Lizzie Shepard is a British heavyweight in the landscape photography scene. Specializing in landscape, nature, and travel, she understands how landscapes best fit into a frame. She does this by putting a hectic setting into a formal composition. John Piper (1903–1992) is one of the most significant British artists of the twentieth-century. From an early age, he made drawings while journeying around the country, developing a love and historical knowledge of the British landscape, its buildings and monuments. Renowned for powerful and romantic paintings of this landscape and views of churches and monuments, Piper worked across an extraordinarily diverse range of artistic disciplines.

All aboard for some Christmas cheer: The festive spirit is a joy to behold at these glittering markets, from Bruges to Bath (and they can all be reached by train from London in less than 6 hours) Simon Norfolk is a Nigerian-born British photographer. His style of landscape photography has made him a regular contributor to National Geographic. It’s not surprising that his catalog includes images from every continent on Earth. He is an honorary fellow of the Royal Photographic Society who also gives talks around Europe.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. Turner's printmaking centred on his Liber Studiorum (1807-19), a book of a projected 100 plates to demonstrate the expressive power of landscape (Constable grumpily and jealously referred to it as the "Liber Stupidorum"); the title was inspired by Claude's similar project, the Liber Veritatis. He divided his plates into categories such as "Historical", "Pastoral" and "Marine" and micromanaged his engravers to such an extent that when dissatisfied with their work he both engraved and mezzotinted some of the plates himself. During the course of this and subsequent projects, he trained a cadre of British printmakers skilled in representing the effects of paint and watercolour in line and tone that was the envy of Europe. In the same way that medieval stained glass informed the language of his abstract paintings, Anglo-Saxon and Romanesque stone carving influenced Piper's artistic practice. In 1936 his interest in churches led to him being involved in a British Museum programme to research and obtain photographic documentation of early English carved fonts, crosses and other stone fragments from across Britain. Armed with a paraffin lamp and a Brownie box camera, he and Myfanwy travelled through Herefordshire, Anglesey, Dorset and Yorkshire in search of isolated carvings.

Ralevska has her own unique style. She is a photographer who is very aware of the landscape and what can be done with it. Following rivers inland is a sure way of encountering remnants of the habitat that once covered much of the British Isles - woodland. Native woodland is home to an array of tree species (unlike the mostly monoculture commercial forests) that in turn support innumerable insect species and the birds that depend on them.

Rotunda at Stowe Gardens (1730-38) The paintings of Claude Lorrain inspired Stourhead and other English landscape gardens. There is nothing particularly new about either the theme or the participants. The birth of the Georgian landscape in art, literature and gardening has been minutely examined down the years. This exhibition's three big names are all familiar; indeed, after Turner and Claude at the National Gallery and Turner, Monet and Twombly at Tate Liverpool, this is the third show this year to present Turner in company with other artists – it's as if he is no longer safe to be let out on his own. Nor was the Royal Academy always so keen on its headline acts. While Turner, from child prodigy until his death, was an academician through and through, both Gainsborough and Constable had fractious relationships with the institution. The latter once had to sit silently as a member of the RA rejected one of his paintings because it was "a nasty green thing". He was elected a full academician only aged 53 and even then by just one vote. Characteristics of the English garden abroad [ edit ] 1803 painting of an English garden's elements by Johann Rombauer

The Wicker Man (1973)

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. The new style also spread to Germany. The central English Grounds of Wörlitz, in the Principality of Anhalt, was laid out between 1769 and 1773 by Prince Leopold III, based on the models of Claremont, Stourhead and Stowe Landscape Gardens. Another notable example was The Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany, created in 1789 by Sir Benjamin Thompson (1753–1814). Noton is a British-born photographer who spent most of his time growing up in the Americas. He claims growing up in Ontario, Canada, helped shape his eye and passion for the landscape.
