A garden sculpture is a three-dimensional work of art that is displayed outdoors, typically in a garden or park setting. They can be made from various materials, and can vary from classical figures to contemporary abstract designs. The predominant garden types in the ancient world were domestic gardens and sacred gardens. Sculptures of gods and kings were placed in temple compounds, along with sacred lakes and sacred groves. In Chinese and pre-Columbian American traditions the monsters and animals were assumed to be imaginary, and thus the goldsmiths and jewelry makers took inspiration from these garden sculptures for creativity, focusing more on whimsical, terrifying, or thought-provoking concepts rather than verisimilitude or adherence to realism. It is not known whether statues were placed in Greek domestic gardens, but the Romans transported a great many statues to Italy and placed them in gardens for ornamental reasons. When the Roman Empire became Christian these statues were regarded as pagan and removed from sight, but during the Renaissance these same statues were excavated and re-placed in gardens. Sculpture then became an aspect of art, and gardens have been a favored location for displaying outdoor works of art ever since throughout most of the modern world.

Good.
