Lancelot "Capability" Brown (1715-83) was an architect and landscape gardener, who was noted for
planning a naturalistic type of garden for the great houses of England with
vistas of trees, lakes and flower-beds. He earned his nickname from his saying, when called
in to consult on the new laying out of a gentleman’s grounds, “I see great
capability of improvement here.”
Brown introduced various changes to the
design of gardens. The grass and trees of the park were brought up to the
walls of the country houses. The fruit and vegetable garden was placed out
of sight and the introduction of grass slopes and trees visible from the windows were a testimony to people’s growing delight in natural scenery.
He established a purely English style of garden
lay-out, using simple artifices to produce natural effects, as in the laid-out
gardens at Blenheim, Kew, Stowe, Warwick Castle, and others.
He designed over 170 parks, many of which still endure.
Brown died on February 6, 1783, in Hertford Street, London, on the doorstep
of his daughter Bridget, who had married the architect Henry Holland.
