	Humphry Repton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Humphry Repton (April 21, 1752 - March 24, 1818), was the last great English landscape designer of the eighteenth century, often regarded as the successor to Capability Brown; he also sowed the seeds of the more intricate and eclectic styles of the nineteenth century.
		Repton was born in Bury St Edmunds, the son of a collector of excise.
		Repton tried his hand as a journalist, dramatist, artist, political agent, and as confidential secretary to his neighbour William Windham of Felbrigg Hall during Windham's very brief stint as Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.

		Repton included a vision of the house itself and its place in the landscape that surrounded it.
		To Repton gardening was an art form, and the landscape was his canvas, though he admonished those who sought to impose the classical Italian style on the English climate and landscape.
		In fact Repton’s most lasting contribution to his profession lies not in his actual landscaping but in his writings on his art which were derived from his famous Red Books.

		Humphry Repton (1752-1818) was the last great English landscape designer of the eighteenth century, often regarded as the successor to Capability Brown; he also sowed the seeds of the more intricate and eclectic styles of the nineteenth century.
		In 1794 Richard Payne Knight and Uvedale Price simultaneously published vicious attacks on the 'meagre genius of the bare and bald', criticising his smooth, serpentine curves as bland and un-natural and championing rugged and intricate designs, composed according to 'picturesque' principals of landscape painting.

		Humphry Repton began his career in landscape architecture in 1788, only five years after the death of Lancelot 'Capability' Brown, who had, in a remarkable series of large projects, altered the 18th century attitude to the urban landscape.
		Repton, in an extraordinary career spanning 30 years, had fewer grand commissions but over 400 smaller projects which, unlike Brown's, were seldom for a whole estate, and usually related to a small area or an individual feature.
		Repton never quite achieved the giddy heights of Capability Brown's social success, George III never conferred on him the title 'Gardener Royal', with its annuity of £1000, but Royal patronage under the Prince of Wales gives us a tantalising glimpse of what might have been, in the rejected proposals for the Brighton Pavilion.

		Inheriting the legacy of the English landscape garden, which was characterized by a controlled manipulation of the wildness of nature, the garden shows the tendency to ease from the sophistication of the formal garden near the house to the necessary roughness of the agrarian landscape, the hallmark of the prosperous gentleman-farmer.
		Repton, an advocate of a more eclectic, compromising spirit in gardening, believed the dressed ground near the house should be "artificial in its keeping, and its embellishments," as in the carefully maintained island beds of flowers and fountains at Sezincote.
		Repton had already acknowledged the challenge of designing a glass-roofed greenhouse in the dominant styles of the times, citing several difficulties in maintaining an aesthetic similar to that of the mansion in a structure of a completely different function.

		Humphry Repton is second only to Lancelot Brown (1715-1783) on the roster of 18th-century English landscape designers.
		Designs for the Pavillon at Brighton is a significant book not only representing a masterpiece of the art of printing, but also providing a primary source documenting the taste for the exotic in architecture and landscape, an esthetic movement that had its origins in the mid-18th century and thrived throughout much of the 19th century.
		Humphry Repton and his two sons, John Adey and George Stanley, were asked by the Prince Regent to redesign the gardens at Brighton, providing the rather bucolic landscape with the Reptons' hallmark vistas.

		Humphry Repton (British, 1752–1818) published this handcolored aquatint of the estate of Brandsbury in Middlesex (vanished seat in what is now Brondesbury, London) in Sketches and Hints on Landscape Gardening (1795).
		In this case, Repton suggested the removal of a long fence, which completely blocked the view over the extensive meadows and the much sought after picturesque staffage of peacefully grazing cattle.
		Repton would become England's leading landscape designer after the death of Lancelot "Capability" Brown in 1783, in part due to his appealing way of presenting proposed improvements in beautiful watercolor drawings.
