EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning design for a parterre, taken from the Theatre des Plans et Jardinages and published in 1652. Created by Jacques Mollet, a prominent figure in garden design during the 17th century, this engraving depicts his innovative introduction of box hedge parterres. The intricate details of this image are truly mesmerizing. The use of box edging creates defined boundaries that guide gravel paths through the garden, leading to various focal points within the space. The geometric patterns formed by the meticulously trimmed box hedges add an element of sophistication and orderliness to the overall composition. The French influence is evident in this formal garden design, with its symmetrical layout and knot garden elements. A central fountain becomes a centerpiece amidst the carefully crafted greenery, adding both visual interest and auditory delight as water gently cascades into its basin. This print captures not only Mollet's mastery but also pays homage to Claude Mollet (1564 - 1649), whose groundbreaking work revolutionized landscape architecture. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this piece represents an important historical artifact that continues to inspire contemporary designers today. Whether you appreciate fine art or have a passion for gardening, this enchanting image will transport you back in time to an era where nature was shaped into harmonious works of art.
