In the first half of the 18th century, a young man emerged from a remote northern English village, took the landscape as his raw material, and created what the world has come to think of as the English countryside. Lancelot Brown—he became known to his noble patrons as "Capability" Brown—raised the craft of landscape gardening to an art, whose enduring quality is shown in this beautiful and informative documentary guide to Brown and his work.
