# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=english-landscape-garden+luminism
# English Landscape Garden carries the structure. Luminism appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from English Landscape Garden (Style, 1720s–1800s) and its accent from Luminism (Style, 1850–1875). Structural cues: Rolling lawn and lake; Temples and follies; The concealed ha-ha fence; A sequence of pictorial views. Accent cues, used sparingly: A smooth surface with the brushmark erased; Composition built on an emphatic horizon; Atmospheric light graded in stages; Water held as a mirror. Composition: No straight lines or symmetry, let lawn and water curve inward. Type and lettering: Keep names and notices at the building, no lettering in the view. Let one material quality come from the second style: Erase the brushmark, grade warm into cool, and print on a matte surface. Mood: Calm, Exhilaration, Luxury, Intimacy. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Roughly 130 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - English Landscape Garden: Naturalness becomes an excuse for leaving the ground alone, so neither the modeled contours nor the massed trees appear and the lawn simply goes rough.
# - Luminism: Turning the graded sky into a saturated sunset: Luminist light is measured, and pushing the chroma converts stillness into stock sentiment.
