Gardens of the early and high Renaissance

Bruno Milić

Abstract

This article is an analytical and documented presentation of Italian fifteenth and sixteenth-century gardens. One of the earliest of the many examples is the hanging garden, giardino pensile, in the ducal palace in Urbino, which is supposed to have been laid out by the Croat Lucius Laurana Vranjanin. From modest and hesitant beginnings, the closed garden or hortus conclusus that developed inside a building, Renaissance garden art flourished into an independent discipline reaching an apogee in the gardens of the Villa d'Este in Tivoli and Villa Lanta in Bagnaia, and gradually grew into the mannerist and baroque styles.
