Comparing Humphry Repton with Friedrich L. Sckell

Abstract

Humphry Repton and Friedrich L. Sckell completed the landscape gardening respectively in England and Germany. They worked from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century. Besides they were both under the influence of Lancelot Brown.
They both appraised objectively the landscape gardening and those of other styles. Sckell didn't break French gardens, but he planned a landscape garden around a French garden. And he tried to weaken the contrast between two styles. His style was early exotic and sentimental, but it became lately classical and monumental.
Repton planned the Kitchen garden and the pleasure garden of the simple and artificial form around the house. Then his style is called ecletic. And his parks were often pastoral with cattle and deer.
