Summary: Following official protection of natural environments for public benefit in Fontainebleau Forest in France (1861) and in Yosemite (1864) and Yellowstone (1872) in the USA, the New Forest Act of 1877 marked the first major instance in Britain. Art and artists were involved in this achievement to a greater extent than in all preceding cases. For the first time, and within an ecocritical framework, this study examines the role played by art during the previous anti-enclosure campaign – highlighting both the hitherto-unacknowledged extent of German influence in terms of the original artistic initiative and of German artists’ participation in the cause, as well as the significance of connections between landscape art of the day and priorities of the early Open Spaces movement. Ecocriticism in art history With works by the German and British artists George Bouverie Goddard, Wilhelm Kümpel, Alfred Pizzi Newton, Wilhelm Trautschold, Edmund George WarrenSummary: Nachdem erstmals natürlicher Lebensraum zum Wohle der Allgemeinheit unter Schutz gestellt wurde, wie der Wald von Fontainebleau (Frankreich 1861) sowie Yosemite- (1864) und Yellowstone-Park (1872) in den USA, markierte der New Forest Act von 1877 das erste derartige Großprojekt im Vereinigten Königreich. Kunst und Künstler spielten in diesem Fall eine größere Rolle als bei allen früheren Umweltschutzprojekten. Charlotte Yeldham untersucht diesen Aspekt erstmals und betrachtet den Zusammenhang von ökologischen und künstlerischen Fragestellungen. Von besonderem Interesse sind die dem New Forest Act vorausgegangene „anti-enclosure"-Bewegung, die bislang kaum untersuchte Beteiligung deutscher Künstler sowie die Verbindungen zwischen der damaligen Landschaftskunst und dem frühen „Open Space Movement". Ecocriticism aus kunsthistorischer Perspektive Mit Werken von britischen und deutschen Künstlern wie George Bouverie Goddard, Wilhelm Kümpel, Alfred Pizzi Newton, Wilhelm Trautschold, Edmund George Warren
