18th Century Western Classicism...here it goes again...

Right. Here it goes again…More and more theories and styles were introduced. This can be rather confusing for anyone to study about them. Landscaping is no longer just about enjoying a certain view or scenery. It has become a compilation of every thought that will be expressed within landscapes.
Most of the landscapes during this era were grand, splendid, extensive, and (resource-consuming!). These were the sorts of landscapes that could never be found elsewhere in other parts of the world!
However, the Dutch landscape seems to be closer to nature. Somehow, its landscapes were somewhat similar to those of the Far East, where the sky and landscape were enormous while buildings and villages were small. Perhaps if one is to run away from the monstrous man-made of Europe, he/she has to make a trip to the Netherlands!
