...Against this trend, Brown, nicknamed "Capability," advocated a composition consisting only of water, grass, trees, and undulations. Humphry Repton (1752-1818) inherited Brown's ideas and became the last master of landscape gardens. He proposed the concept of "Landscape Gardening," and established the foundation of a landscape design tradition in England that went beyond the boundaries of gardens. France was the country that was most heavily influenced by the ideas of landscape gardens, and there are many examples left, such as the gardens of the mansion of Ermenonville, where JJ Rousseau retired in his later years, and the Hameau at the Petit Trianon, where Marie Antoinette built in Versailles. ...

From [Nash]

…After he retired to Wales, he pioneered new design techniques, inspired by the picturesque theory of RP Knight and others, which considered irregularity and unexpectedness to be aesthetically pleasing. In collaboration with Humphry Repton (1752-1818), the successor to L. Brown who perfected the landscape garden, he designed villas such as Ruscombe (Devonshire, 1804), which were well received. In his plan for connecting Regent's Park (1828) in London to Carlton House Terrace (1814) via Regent Street (1833), although each building was classical, the street structure and layout were the first in the city to realize the picturesque design concept. …

From [Picturesque]

…Then, landscape gardener Uvedale Price (1747-1829) defined the idea of picturesque to include qualities such as complexity, variety, irregularity, roughness, and arousal of curiosity, which were not included in the two aesthetic categories of the sublime and the beautiful proposed by E. Burke in 1757 (An Essay on the Picturesque, 1794-98). Under Price's influence, J. Nash attempted to define the picturesque in architecture, and Humphrey Repton (1752-1818) in landscape gardens. Furthermore, art lover Richard Payne Knight (1750-1824) discussed the picturesque in Landscape Painting (1794) and An Analytical Study of the Principles of Taste (1805). …

From [Brown]

…He was nicknamed “Capability Brown” because he advocated a method of land development that fully utilized the “potential” of the site. His idea that natural beauty should be the standard for landscaping was inherited by Humphry Repton (1752-1818). [Hoshi Kazuhiko]. …

…このような傾向に対して，ただ水と芝，樹木と起伏のみによる構成を主張したのが〈ケーパビリティ〉の渾名をもつブラウンであった。レプトンHumphry Repton(1752‐1818)はこのブラウンの考えを受け継いで風景式庭園最後の巨匠となった人で，〈Landscape Gardening〉という概念を提唱し，イギリスにおける，庭園の枠を超えるランドスケープ･デザインの伝統の礎を固めている。この風景式庭園の思想の影響をもっとも強くこうむったのはフランスであり，J.J.ルソーが晩年に隠棲したジラルダン卿のエルムノンビルの館の庭や，マリー･アントアネットがベルサイユに営んだプティ･トリアノンのアモーなど，さまざまな例が残されている。…

…その後ウェールズに退き活動中，R.P.ナイトらの，不規則性や意外さを美的価値とするピクチュアレスク理論に触発されて新しい設計手法を開拓。風景式庭園を完成させたL.ブラウンの後継者レプトンHumphry Repton(1752‐1818)と協同で，ラスクーム(デボンシャー，1804)などの別荘建築を設計し好評を博す。ロンドンのリージェンツ･パーク(1828)よりリージェント･ストリート(1833)を経てカールトン･ハウス･テラス(1814)を結ぶ計画では，各建物は古典主義的ではあるが，街路構成や配置に都市で初めてピクチュアレスクの設計理念を実現した。…

…ついで造園家プライスUvedale Price(1747‐1829)は，E.バークが1757年に提示した〈崇高the sublime〉と〈美the beautiful〉の二つの美的範疇には含まれない，複雑さ，多様さ，不規則性，荒削りさ，好奇心の喚起などの性質を含むピクチュアレスクの観念を定義した(《ピクチュアレスク試論》1794‐98)。プライスの影響下にJ.ナッシュが建築において，またレプトンHumphrey Repton(1752‐1818)が風景式庭園においてピクチュアレスクを定義すべく試みた。さらに芸術愛好家ナイトRichard Payne Knight(1750‐1824)は，《風景画》(1794)や《趣味の原理の分析的研究》(1805)で，ピクチュアレスクについて論じている。…
