EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Design for Parterre, from Theatre des Plans et Jardinages" takes us back to the 17th century and showcases the exquisite artistry of Noel Mollet. Mollet, a renowned French landscape designer known for his introduction of box hedge parterres, created this masterpiece that continues to inspire garden enthusiasts even today. The print features an intricate geometric pattern formed by meticulously trimmed box hedges. These neatly arranged hedges enclose gravel paths that lead to a central focal point - a stunning fountain adorned with delicate carvings. The symmetrical design evokes a sense of order and elegance typical of French formal gardens. As we explore further into the image, we notice the presence of what appears to be a maze-like structure in one corner. This addition adds an element of playfulness and intrigue to an otherwise structured composition. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and curve has been carefully etched onto paper by Mollet's skilled hand. It serves as both a testament to his talent as well as an invaluable historical record of garden design during this period. Displayed against a neutral background, this print from The Stapleton Collection exudes timeless beauty and sophistication. Its classic charm makes it suitable for various settings - whether displayed in traditional or contemporary interiors, it will undoubtedly captivate all who lay eyes upon it.
