Motive: Roman busts. 4.5 cm high. A Baroque park is characterised by geometrically trimmed trees and shrubs, hedges and flower beds in ornamental shapes, lawns and southern plants (which are housed in an orangery in winter). Common to all areas of the Baroque garden is the decorative programme. Greek and Roman mythology were popular themes of the period, and events and figures were depicted in magnificent fountains and groups of figures. With the beginning of the 18th century, moreover, exoticism took on a greater role, and the gardens were furnished with interpretations of Chinese temples or tea houses. Since the Baroque park served above all to glorify its owner, allegories of his deeds or rank can also be found.
