Places of longing and inspiration
The dream of an earthly paradise was realized very differently in different times and cultures. Gardens and parks not only tell us about the individual sensitivities of their builders, but also about religious ideas or political power relationships. While monastery gardens invite quiet contemplation, magnificent ruler's gardens celebrate abundance. This book invites you to take a walk through the most beautiful gardens in the world and tells stories of the people who have sought inspiration, happiness, love or refuge there. In addition to the documentation of famous historical gardens in works of art, photographs and plans, private paradise landscapes are also presented. Artists such as Max Liebermann and Paul Klee in particular still awaken our longing for beauty with their garden pictures.
