Relaxing in an Arbour, 1577 - A Glimpse into Elizabethan Horticulture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This woodcut print, titled "Relaxing in an Arbour, 1577" offers a delightful window into the world of gardening during the Elizabethan era. Created by Thomas Hill, under the pseudonym Didymus Mountain, this image is part of his renowned book "The Gardeners Labyrinth". In this scene, we witness three men indulging in a moment of respite amidst nature's splendor. The arbour they find themselves in is adorned with intricate trellises and climbing plants that create a serene atmosphere. With its formal design and full flower blooms surrounding them, it becomes evident that these gentlemen are enjoying their time within a carefully cultivated garden. Seated on a sturdy bench around a quaint three-legged table, they engage in leisurely activities - eating and drinking - as if savoring both the fruits of their labor and each other's company. This image not only showcases the artistry involved in creating such tranquil spaces but also highlights the social aspect of gardening during this period. As we delve deeper into this woodcut print, we are transported back to an age where horticulture was seen as both an art form and a means for relaxation. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with gardens throughout history – places where beauty flourishes alongside human connection and moments of repose can be found amidst life's busyness.
