| - | The '''French landscape garden''' ({{lang-fr|jardin paysager, jardin a l'anglaise, jardin pittoresque, jardin anglo-chinois}}) is a style of garden inspired by idealized Italian landscapes and the romantic paintings of [[Hubert Robert]], [[Claude Lorrain]] and [[Nicolas Poussin]], European ideas about [[Chinese garden]]s, and the philosophy of [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]]. The style originated in England, as the '[[English landscape garden]],' in the early 18th century and spread to France, where, in the late 18th and early 19th century, it gradually replaced the formal, symmetrical garden [[Garden à la française|à la française]]. | + | |

The style has evolved for more than three thousand years, and includes both the vast gardens of the Chinese emperors and smaller gardens built by scholars, poets, and former government officials.
