There are over 500 known artworks of John Nash, many of which depict the landscapes he encountered. These landscapes ranged from China in his “China Clay Country” painting to the British countryside in his painting titled “Cornfield.” As an artist with no formal training and not many influences to speak of, John Nash depicts landscapes through an untainted lens. His signature style, which sees him painting landscapes in the evening is indicative of his time as a war artist. A new exhibition which has at its heart surprisingly a reproduction of his work Slave ship. The original was said to be too fragile for the journey from Boston. The exhibition opened last month and runs from the 28th of Oct to the 7th of March 2021 at Tate Britain. His use of watercolour to convey imaginative landscapes is juxtaposed by his ability to weave intricate yet turbulent marine paintings. His work – especially later work – forms the foundation that many artists have followed. Phillip Slotte is another young landscape photographer. He is based in Sweden and his work has been featured in National Geographic and many others. Slotte presents you with dramatic landscapes that lean toward the darker side. Patience in riverside habitats may be rewarded with a sighting of a Water Vole, a River Otter, or perhaps even a European Beaver (once exterminated from Britain, these large aquatic rodents have been returned to British waterways in recent years). In many parts of the country footpaths and trails follow stream and riversides making for peaceful walking opportunities close to nature. Badgers at dusk Woodland

Wulf, Andrea, The Brother Gardeners: A Generation of Gentlemen Naturalists and the Birth of an Obsession, 2008, William Heinemann (US: Vintage Books), ISBN 9780434016129It’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. 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. Piper's art between 1940 until the early 1950s speaks of a wider revival of interest in the art and ideas of the eighteenth-century Romantic period, which emphasised emotion and individualism while glorying in the past and in nature. This introspective post-war mood propelled Piper and other artists and writers towards an imaginative regeneration of English art by focusing on its landscape, heritage and traditions. Among his favourite places he include the coasts and offshore islands of Britain, especially the remote isles of Scotland. Between leading international expeditions he currently resides in east Hokkaidō, Japan. His most recent book Wild Hokkaidō: A Guidebook to the National Parks and Other Wild Places of Eastern Hokkaidō was published in summer 2021. Hotels in Scotland

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 The competition aims to inspire profound engagement with the British landscape through photography,’ a statement notes. Thomas Heaton is a British photographer who is very well-traveled. His method of making simple forms out of landscapes sets him apart from others. This can almost be seen as oversimplifying the landscape, but I think it is done well. Chang, Elizabeth Hope (2010). Britain's Chinese eye: Literature, empire, and aesthetics in nineteenth-century Britain. Stanford: Stanford University Press. p.18. ISBN 978-0-8047-5945-8.Sanders is a Fujifilm ambassador as well as a speaker and mentor in the photography world. He started his career as a fashion and advertising photographer. It can be hard to convey the cold and harsh British winters as well as their warm and inviting summers. But Minns is all too familiar. He can have you craving a hot cup of tea just by looking at his winter landscapes! As a decorated artist with membership in the Royal Academy and an honorary doctorate from Napier University, Rae’s abstract depiction of landscapes and an in-depth understanding of colour is always evident in her work. The underlying thread of all of her work is her unique artistic expression. This artistic expression is on perfect display in all her work, regardless of whether she’s painting an arctic landscape or a landscape closer to home Barbara Rae RA at the Royal Academy Through her post-processing techniques, she comes up with surreal scenes. These scenes portray landscapes and how they appear when we idealize them in our heads.

One aspect of the new style was making woodland more interesting and ornamental, leading to the establishment of the woodland garden as a distinct type. This took several forms, one of which was helped by the developing Gothic revival. Horace Walpole, a great promoter of the English landscape garden style, praised Painshill in Surrey, whose varied features included a shrubbery with American plants, and a sloping "Alpine Valley" of conifers, as one of the best of the new style of "forest or savage gardens". [19] This was a style of woodland aiming at the sublime, a newly-fashionable concept in literature and the arts, or at the least to be picturesque, another new term. It really required steep slopes, even if not very high, along which paths could be made revealing dramatic views, by which contemporary viewers who had read Gothic novels like Walpole's The Castle of Otranto (1764) were very ready to be impressed. [20]That influence of human agriculture increased and has continued until now almost 70% of the United Kingdom's land area has been turned over for use in agriculture. Other factors that had dramatic impacts on the landscape were those that relied on extracting natural resources such as major trees for the British navy from the 1200s onwards and especially coal and other raw materials for the Industrial Revolution which involved a dramatic shift to industry and mechanised manufacturing during the late 1700s and early 1800s.

Minns is a British photographer who specializes in the landscape of East Anglia. He has a remarkable ability to capture the British landscape. A lot of his photography depends on the viewer’s contextual knowledge. Whatever is outside of the frame is almost as important as what is in it. This style of landscape photography is essential. It shows a reflection of another place and time.

Even though farmland now dominates the British landscape, and although many farmland species are in serious decline, this habitat is not devoid of wildlife. In fact, depending on local farming practices some species thrive here. The new style that became known as the English garden was invented by landscape designers William Kent and Charles Bridgeman, working for wealthy patrons, including Richard Temple, 1st Viscount Cobham; Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington; and banker Henry Hoare. These men had large country estates, were members of the anti-royalist Whig Party, had classical educations, were patrons of the arts, and had taken the Grand Tour to Italy, where they had seen the Roman ruins and Italian landscapes they reproduced in their gardens.
