- Title
THE RENAISSANCE GARDEN AND ITS CONTRADICTIONS.
- Authors
Nutt, Nele
- Abstract
This article looks at the contradictory essence of the Renaissance garden, which is reflected in the dialogue of the garden's form and content, and which is in constant change. While the garden of the Quattrocento with its formal language of rigid geometric rules stimulates free thought and the emotional world, remaining a modest background itself, the garden of the Cinquecento dictates the direction of thought and produces concrete frames for it. The thought of the Early Renaissance, boundlessly freewheeling in the world of fantasy, is increasingly tied to the garden's form. The gentle emotion of the inner world is suffocated by the intruders from the outer world and the garden that carried the free thought of Early Renaissance becomes an area of restraint.
