Abstract: |
The emergence of Romanticism is closely linked to the shift in Western societies’ views on nature, culture, and consequently, landscape. Nature came to be regarded as a condition that transcends human scale, commanding respect for its “sublime” qualities. This shift diminished the central institutionalization of cultural affairs and redirected attention toward decentralized “culture,” popular traditions, and cultural conditions rooted in the native landscape. This turn toward the elevated significance of natural elements and the central value of the primary, undeveloped, or rural landscape aligns with corresponding tendencies in landscape painting, as well as with movements in gardening and landscape architecture favoring minimal intervention. Furthermore, it connects with the growing interest of developed societies in integrating natural elements within large cities, leading to the creation of urban parks and “green” urban networks.
