Summary:
David Cooper identifies garden appreciation as a special human phenomenon distinct from both from the appreciation of art and the appreciation of nature.

Summary:
David Cooper identifies garden appreciation as a special human phenomenon distinct from both from the appreciation of art and the appreciation of nature. He explores the importance of various 'garden-practices' and shows how not only gardening itself, but activities to which the garden especially lends itself, including social and meditative activities, contribute to the good life. And he distinguishes the many kinds of meanings that gardens may have, from representation of nature to emotional expression, from historical significance to symbolization of a spiritual relationship to the world. Building on the familiar observation that, among human beings' creations, the garden is peculiarly dependent on the co-operation of nature, Cooper argues that the garden matters as an epiphany of an intimate co-dependence between human creative activity in the world and the 'mystery' that allows there to be a world for them at all.

Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) is heralded as the greatest painter of the Romantic movement in Germany, and Europe’s first truly modern artist. His mysterious and melancholy landscapes, often peopled with lonely wanderers, are experiments in a radically subjective artistic perspective—one in which, as Freidrich wrote, the painter depicts not “what he sees before him,(...)

Summary:
In this publication, Raffaele Milani interprets natural landscapes as an aesthetic category. Drawing from philosophical traditions, literature, and art, he calls the reader's attention to a special consciousness, originally established during the pre-Romantic age, that has become a distinctive feature of contemporary spirituality. Focusing on the definition of landscapes in relation to the concepts of nature, environment, territory, and man-made settings such as gardens and cities, Milani examines the origins of the predilection for natural scenery in the works of landscape painters and in travel literature. He addresses the distinctness of the aesthetic experience of landscapes, analyses the role of aesthetic categories, and explores landscape art as a medium of contemplation.

À travers ses textes, ses carnets, ses pastels, les objets qu'il a rassemblés et les témoignages de celles et ceux qui l'ont accompagné, se dessine une oeuvre totale, traversée par le sacré, le visible et l'invisible, la matière minérale et la présence des esprits.Réunissant des écrits majeurs, des pages inédites, des témoignages, des photographies et des pièces provenant des collections confiées par Malaurie à l'institut océanographique / Fondation Albert Ier, Prince de Monaco, ce livre révèle la dimension profondément créatrice d'une pensée qui, pendant plus de soixante-dix ans, n'a cessé d'interroger le lien connaturel entre les humains, les animaux, les peuples du Grand Nord et les mondes qu'ils habitent.
