EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing "Design for Parterre" from the Theatre des Plans et Jardinages, published in 1652. The engraving, created by Andre Mollet (d. 1665), offers a glimpse into the exquisite world of French garden design during the 17th century. The image features an intricate geometric pattern formed by box hedging, creating a symmetrical and formal knot garden. Gravel paths elegantly wind their way through this meticulously crafted masterpiece, leading one's gaze towards a stunning central fountain that serves as the focal point of this enchanting scene. Claude Mollet (1564 - 1649), renowned for introducing box hedge parterres to garden design, demonstrates his mastery in this work. His attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition; from the precise placement of each box edge to the carefully planned layout of gravel paths. The photograph beautifully captures both the grandeur and precision inherent in French garden design. It transports viewers back in time, allowing them to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating such breathtaking landscapes. Part of The Stapleton Collection, this print is not only visually captivating but also holds historical significance as it represents an important era in landscape architecture. A true testament to human creativity and ingenuity, this image serves as a reminder of our ability to transform nature into awe-inspiring works of art.
