In pursuit of the Baroque garden experience, this lecture takes a leisurely stroll through some of the finest Baroque gardens. It explores the way the Baroque garden constituted an ideal, courtly world while embodying royal or princely power.
It explores the festivals that took place in them, the statues that animated them, and the illusions that made them an optical experience.
DAVID MARSHALL’S research interests focus on aspects of painting and architecture in 17th and 18th century Italy, especially architecture, depictions of architecture, and ruin and topographical painting (Codazzi, Panini, Canaletto). He also has research interests in garden design, antiquarianism, collecting and display and connoisseurship.
