Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Landscape Architecture Exhibit

From June 27th to September 2nd the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum will have an exhibit on the origins of landscape architecture through photography. The cost is $15 and is located at 280 Fenway in Boston, MA. See www.gardnermuseum.org for more information. If you are able to read the article in the photo attached to this post you will notice that Charles Waldheim, chair of the landscape architecture program at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, is quoted saying "landscape first emerged in painting in western Europe, particularly in the British Isles." I seem to remember instances of Greek, Roman, and Egyptian images that incorporated the landscape well before the English started.
