From Italy to France: Gardens in the Court of Louis XIV and After
The late sixteenth-century Italian garden with its monumental terraces, sculptures, and waterworks such as those at Villa d’Este and Villa Lante, was much admired and imitated in Northern Europe, particularly in France (Saint-Germain-en-Laye). Recorded in detail in the print books by Giovanni Battista Falda, the expansive Italian estates near Rome, such as the Villa Doria-Pamphilj ( 61.532.26.20 ) and the Villa Aldobrandini at Frascati, would continue to be admired as an aesthetic ideal. By the 1630s, however, the epicenter of garden artistic activity had gravitated to the North, led by the French royal garden architects André Mollet and Jacques Boyceau de la Baraudière. Each of these published treatises combining practical advice with new aesthetic concepts, adding models for novel "embroidered" boxwood and flowerbed ensembles called parterres de broderie ( 64.65.2, 52.519.69 ), including the celebrated parterres of the Jardin du Luxembourg ( 26.104.2 ) and the Tuileries in Paris. Mollet and Boyceau laid the groundwork for the supremacy of the French garden style under Louis XIV, culminating in the work of André Le Nôtre at Vaux-le-Vicomte (1660) and Versailles (1670–90) ( 20.41.126, 52.519.84.88, 52.184 ). The basic elements of Le Nôtre's design, later codified by A.-J. Dézallier d'Argenville in La theorie et la pratique du jardinage (1709), consisted of a strongly unified composition, carefully balanced and proportioned for optimal visual effect.
