Notes for the creation of a neoclassical garden. Nature, art and culture in decorarconarte.com

Even today, in many of our cities, there are still public parks and gardens created in the neoclassical period and the romanticism of the 19th century, and they are true havens of peace and coexistence in the very heart of the agitation of the city.

The union of nature with the works of art created by humans goes hand in hand with the history of human culture. We speak of gardens, open spaces, more or less ordered, or as in the case of romantic gardens, with the appearance of wild and spontaneous nature, although delicately studied.

The spirit of this union between mother nature and the love of sculpture is also taken to more intimate spaces in private gardens, small plots, even terraces.

The garden thus becomes a sort of natural-cultural art, a union of the beauty of nature and classical art, where sculptures and architectural elements coexist with trees, shrubs and plants of great beauty.

This symbiosis is produced through various elements:

  • Vegetation, trees and varied plants that show their changing colors and aspects with the variations d season.
  • Water, either in the form of small waterfalls, springs or fountains.
  • A corner that evokes architectural ruins of the past: columns, a half-ruined stone wall, an arch suspended in the air.
  • Playing with the topography, rocks, slopes, paths, etc.
  • Classic sculptures, whether they stand out on a pedestal combined with vertically evolving plants, or statues nestled in romantic corners, among vegetation or on the shore of a small backwater.
  • And what should never be missing: a bench to rest while reading a good book or contemplating the beauty of the simple life in that small paradise where time stands still.

Sometimes it amazes me how some people have managed to create that atmosphere out of time in a small terrace.

Today we are returning from the open and public garden, which unfortunately has become insecure, to the intramural garden, small and intimate but inviolable, to the secret corner, born from the intimate nature of its owner who, far from conventionalisms, projects in his imagination his artistic and cultural preferences where he can establish a dialogue with himself and with his own. Gods and nymphs immortalized in sculptures, next to the rose bush or the bougainvillea.

I invite you to unfold your imagination, to recreate your garden combining nature and culture in the small open space you have (from a terrace to a garden).

Be inspired if you wish by our sculptures and our photographs of environments, but above all, stay away from conventionalisms and let yourself be carried away by what you like and fall in love with.

Be happy.
