Abstract:
This thesis examines and contextualises historically significant aspects of the ways in which David Roberts’ lucrative lithographic publication Egypt and Nubia (1846-49) represented the “Orient”. The analysis demonstrates that Roberts used tropes, particularly ruins and dispossessed figures, largely derived from a revised version of British picturesque landscape art, in order to depict Egypt as a developmentally poor state. By establishing how this imagery was interpreted in the context of the early Victorian British Empire, the thesis offers an elucidation of the connection between British im

Abstract:
This study addresses the development of the English suburb in the second quarter of the nineteenth century. Its proposition is that suburbs were where people wanted to live, and not just to avoid the dirt and disease of the city. They had an appeal beyond the practical. Whether it was a feeling of security, independence, oneness with nature, or of living in 'a place apart', there was an emotional, culturally-conditioned attraction. The specific focus is on the development of the Calverley estate in Tunbridge Wells. The point is not that Calverley was typical, but that it represented a suburban

Abstract:
This thesis explores aesthetic representation in Australian and Canadian nature writing from the turn of the twenty-first century to the present day. I analyse nine representative texts to explore the relationship between aesthetic representation of the so-called natural environment and the texts’ central themes, which I identify as (i) belonging (in place) (ii) digging (uncovering colonial history), (iii) walking (pilgrimage), and (iv) working (ecological rehabilitation). In connection with each theme, I examine how the environment is perceived, how notions of aesthetic value are constructed

Abstract:
This research project is concerned with the way in which nature is idealised through images, and questions how painting might be able to address this using visual strategies borrowed from the 18th Century aesthetic traditions of the Picturesque. Contemporary popular landscape images, often photographs, present an ideal of nature that is vast, nurturing and self-sustaining. To submit to this ideal, though enjoyable, is to overlook the lived reality of nature in all its extremes as well as the cultural and environmental problems linked to idealised views of nature.

In recent years the history of the garden has enjoyed increased attention within scholarly circles. Of particular interest is the history of the formation of the Picturesque garden.

The conflict among them has become known as the Picturesque Controversy. Due to misguided interpretations by modern scholars, however, the essence of the dispute has been obscured.

The principles of the Picturesque movement of the 18th century are drawn into a discussion of our current understanding of the picturesque photograph with the aim of revealing continuity in aesthetic values and subjective relationships with landscape. Vantage point is explored as an integral element of the Picturesque effect, with compositional structure being recognised as a means of centring the viewer within a subject/object dynamic.

Despite its origins in England two hundred years ago, the picturesque continues to influence landscape architectural practice in late twentieth-century New Zealand.

Through conceptualising the picturesque as a language, a model is developed which provides a framework for recording the survey results.

Abstract:
In eighteenth-century England, the art-forms of painting, poetry and gardening were often collectively labelled, the ‘sister arts’. The increasing interest taken in the apprehension and appraisal of scenes of English landscape by artists in these fields, alongside an emerging taste for nature ‘tourism’, gave rise to the term, the ‘picturesque movement’. English music was seldom considered as belonging to this ‘sisterhood’ or discussed as a medium for conveying artistic expressions of national scenic beauty.

Jusqu’à la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, les territoires montagneux de Grande-Bretagne sont inconnus pour la majorité de la population. Pourtant, les territoires du Lake District en Angleterre, du Snowdonia au pays du Galles et des Highlands d’Écosse font partie de l’essor de la peinture de paysage en Grande-Bretagne entre les XVIIIe et XIXe siècles. L’observation des artistes portée aux montagnes du nord profite à l’imagination à travers deux notions majeures : la beauté pittoresque et le sublime. En effet, la promenade dans le jardin anglais s’ouvre au Home Tour en terres montagneuses. D’

Abstract:
Entre 1780 et 1830, la conception du paysage évolue radicalement. Au tournant des XVIIIème et XIXème siècles, Rome accueille une fraternité d’artistes qui construisent un nouveau regard sur l’architecture et la nature, qui se place aux origines du paysage moderne. Les itinéraires artistiques de quatre paysagistes français, Jérôme-René Demoulin (1758-1799), Jacques Moulinier (1757-1828), François Liger (1757-?) et Antoine-Laurent Castellan (1772-1838) appartenant à cette même génération, constituent le sujet de notre étude. Entretenant tous un lien avec la ville de Montpellier, ces hommes, exer

Abstract:
Notre thèse aborde la question de la beauté dans les arts plastiques d'aujourd'hui. Celle-ci en effet ne va pas de soi, si l'on en croit notamment les multiples publications manifestant un rejet de l'art contemporain. Peut-on parler, actuellement, d'une esthétique de l'œuvre renvoyant à une science du beauté à une satisfaction d'ordre essentiellement intellectuel? Soit de beauté intrinsèque qui, comme dans l'art de la Renaissance, relève tant de l'harmonie et de la justesse de ses formes que de la légitimité de son contenu, grâce à la mise en évidence du bien-fondé de la mimêsis, de la perspec
