Nature and Art - Art and Nature

ars mundi

The 18th and 19th-century philosophy strictly distinguished between the beauty of nature and the beauty of art. The beauty of nature meant a picturesque landscape or a blossoming rose, while the beauty of art meant beauty made by human hands, such as a painting or a sculpture. The fact that art has always benefited from the beauty of nature cannot be ignored - the great works of art history that capture the view of an overwhelming landscape panorama, or the blaze of colours of a bouquet are numerous. Artists of all epochs sought their motifs in nature. One example of classical painting is the picture "Blossoming Peach Tree" by Vincent van Gogh, which celebrates the vitality of burgeoning nature in bright colours.

However, the beauty of nature also benefits from art, at the latest when it becomes garden art, transforming your garden into an open-air gallery: Animal sculptures, bronze fire bowls, stone sculptures with Asian flair and much more.
