Rousham is one of England's most important gardens. It represents the first phase of English landscape design and remains almost as its designer William Kent left it, with many of its 18th century features left intact. Rousham's gardens enjoy an enormous following amongst top garden designers as well as garden lovers. It has become a place of pilgrimage for landscape architects and garden designers worldwide as well as garden lovers. Its magical glades and sculptural set-pieces have long intrigued Francis hamel, who has lived and worked there for 25 years. Since the beginning of 2020 he has composed an extraordinary collection of paintings that capture the garden and their magic.

Francis Hamel has lived as artist in residence at Rousham for 25 years. Trained at the Ruskin School of Art whilst at Magdalen College, Oxford, he has won international acclaim for his work. 18 months in lockdown has enabled Hamel to build up an in-depth collection of paintings of the astonishing landscape around him. Even though Rousham has always provided him with inspiration, this body of work is represented by over 80 paintings and drawings capturing details of the 17th century walled gardens with their espalier pear trees and box parterres, as well as the 18th century pleasure grounds designed by William Kent.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Rousham in Oxfordshire was one of the first landscape gardens created in England and is, still, one of the most influential. Designed by William Kent in the late 1730s for the Cottrell-Dormer family (who are its owners today) it has become a place of pilgrimage for landscape architects and garden designers worldwide as well as garden lovers. Its magical glades and sculptural set-pieces have long intrigued Francis Hamel, who has lived and worked there for 25 years. Since the beginning of 2020 he has composed an extraordinary collection of paintings that capture the gardens and their magic.With essays by Tom Stuart-Smith, Joanna Kavenna and Christopher Woodward, the reader is led down its mysterious pathways; from tree-shaded walks peopled with statues of Pan, Venus and other immortals to sun-dappled meadows carpeted with wild flowers. It is just as Kent left it- a secret garden that is open to all. Rousham in Oxfordshire was one of the first landscape gardens created in England by William Kent in the 1730s. It is still one of the most influential, and has inspired landscape architects, garden designers and garden lovers worldwide. To Monty Don 'it is the greatest masterpiece of English gardening - a flawless work of genius.' Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
