Cultural and Specific Transfer between Czech Lands and Europe on the Example of our Oldest Landscape Parks and their Creators

Abstract

The article deals with the oldest landscape parks created at the end of the 18th and early 19th centuries in the Czech lands, and uses the example of foreign cultural and natural science influences that played an important role in their creation. The text focuses primarily on travel as a means of conveying fashionable trends, or on literature, which had the same function and also provided an opportunity to learn about the ideas of landscape theorists. The study deals mainly with the influence of Great Britain, the Holy Roman Empire and Germany on the landscape design in the Czech lands.
