The World of André Le Nôtre

Thierry Mariage

4.9/5 (27123 ratings)

Description: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.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
