The World of André Le Nôtre Thierry Mariage. Translated by Graham Larkin 'A stimulating effort to contextualize Le Nôtre's career and to relate the 'French formal garden' to the cultural and political environment of Louis XIV's reign.'--French History 'This ambitious book is intellectually significant, well researched, and cogently presented. . . . Excellent.'--Geographical Reviews 'A substantial contribution to the study of seventeenth-century French garden practice.'--Landscape Architecture The gardens of Versailles--along with the name of their chief creator, André Le Nôtre (1613-1700)--have become synonymous with the French style of 'formal' garden. This style in its turn would succumb to another 'national' mode, the English school of naturalistic and picturesque landscapes. But as Thierry Mariage makes clear, the garden style that Le Nôtre brought to perfection need not be seen in opposition to the later 'English' one. Rather, he claims, they represent two points along a continuum that exists between the natural and cultural worlds. Published originally in Belgium as L'univers de Le Nostre, Mariage's examination of Le Nôtre moves beyond traditional art historical documentation and appreciation into a realm of interpretation. He situates Le Nôtre's garden art in a complex social and cultural world, where the practices of land management, surveying techniques and hydrology, military practice, and both scientific and literary perspectives on land use and experience brought into being a unique form of landscape architecture. His analysis opens up the fashion in which design techniques and garden philosophy are shaped by material culture. Thierry Mariage is Architect for National and Historical Monuments, in charge of Versailles Museum, Park, and Gardens. Graham Larkin is Curator of European and American Art at the National Gallery of Canada. Penn Studies in Landscape Architecture 1998 168 pages 7 x 10 38 illus.
