EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning "Design for Parterre" from the renowned Theatre des Plans et Jardinages, published in 1652. Created by the talented Jacques Mollet, a prominent figure in garden design during the 17th century, this engraving is an exquisite representation of his innovative work. Mollet's contribution to landscape architecture cannot be overstated. He revolutionized garden design by introducing box hedge parterres, which are prominently featured in this image. The meticulously trimmed box hedging creates a mesmerizing geometric pattern that adds depth and structure to the overall composition. The gravel paths elegantly wind their way through the intricate maze-like layout, inviting visitors to explore every corner of this French masterpiece. The formal knot garden further enhances the sense of order and sophistication that defines Mollet's style. A magnificent fountain takes center stage within this enchanting scene, providing both visual appeal and soothing sounds as water cascades gracefully into its basin. Its presence adds a touch of tranquility amidst the vibrant greenery and carefully crafted elements. With its impeccable attention to detail and harmonious blend of natural beauty with man-made precision, this "Design for Parterre" exemplifies Mollet's genius as well as his lasting influence on garden design throughout history. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we can't help but appreciate how it continues to inspire contemporary designers seeking timeless elegance in their creations.
