Landscape is the place where everything happens. Students study all the arts of landscape in Europe during the period covered: painting, poetry, garden design, selected prose writings, etc. Emphasis is on the exchange of artistic energies between nations, especially, but not exclusively, between Britain and France. From Romanticism (Wordsworth, Blake, Goya) to Impressionism and the Symbolists such as Gauguin, landscape becomes the testing-ground for insights not only into nature, but also into the character of being human.
