Commissioned by Louis XIV, Andre le Notre designed a timeless garden of magnificent proportions. Widely admired and imitated throughout Europe, 300 years after its creation the garden at Versailles remains the quintessential jardin a la francaise. The son of a gardener, le Notre studied practical geometry as well as theories of space and perspective, both of which he used to advantage in his rigorous design. Unparalleled in his ability to tame nature, le Notre shaped the existing landscape to fit his uncompromising ideas of symmetry, structure, and beauty. This book is a celebration of le Notre's triumph, beautifully illustrated with previously unpublished plans.

Ovid tells the story of Latona, the mother by Jupiter of Apollo and Diana. In her flight from the jealous Juno, she arrives faint and parched on the coast of Asia Minor. Kneeling to sip from a pond, Latona is met by the local peasants, who not only deny her effort but muddy the water in pure malice. Enraged, Latona calls a curse down upon the stingy peasants, turning them to frogs. In his masterful study, Thomas F. Hedin reveals how and why a fountain of this strange legend was installed in the heart of Versailles in the 1660s, the inaugural decade of Louis XIV’s patronage there. The natural supply of water was scarce and unwieldy, and it took the genius of the king’s hydraulic engineers, working in partnership with the landscape architect André Le Nôtre, to exploit it. If Ovid’s peasants were punished for their stubborn denial of water, so too the obstacles of coarse nature at Versailles were conquered; the aquatic iconography of the fountain was equivalent to the aquatic reality of the gardens. Latona was designed by Charles Le Brun, the most powerful artist at the court of Louis XIV, and carried out by Gaspard and Balthazar Marsy. The 1660s were rich in artistic theory in France, and the artists of the fountain delivered substantial lectures at the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture on subjects of central concern to their current work. What they professed was what they were visualizing in the gardens. As such, the fountain is an insider’s guide to the leading artistic ideals of the moment. Louis XIV was viewed as the reincarnation of Apollo, the god of creativity, the inspiration of artists and scientists. Hedin’s original argument is that Latona was a double declaration: a glorification of the king and a proud manifesto by artists.

Marie-Antoinette has been idolized as the height of eighteenth-century French style and vilified as the spark that ignited the French Revolution. This book departs from such traditional interpretations of the infamous queen’s reign and chooses to reflect on the humanistic aspects of her private realm. To escape the formalities and royal obligations of Louis XVI’s court, Marie-Antoinette created a private realm of pleasure for herself at the Petit Trianon and Hameau, where she planted the first Anglo-Chinese garden; created a trysting grotto; a working farm; and revolutionized architecture and gardening trends for the century to come. Marie-Antoinette’s entire private domain and its story are told in beautiful photographic detail by François Halard for the first time since its recent restoration and accompanied by well-researched texts by garden expert Christian Duvernois.

In 1990, a vast restoration project was initiated for the park at Versailles, which aimed at restoring the gardens to their original layout. This newly revised and updated book celebrates the event and presents a detailed history of the gardens, from the hunting estate acquired by Louis XIII to the park of today, where floods of visitors are drawn by the unique and sumptuous era of the legendary Sun King. The age of Louis XV saw the Trianon become one of the favourite haunts of the Court, and the reign of Louis XVI saw its surroundings transformed into one of the most extraordinary jardin anglais produced in France during the 18th century. Throughout the 19th century, the gardens were maintained, restored and replanted, and today they are being further restored to reflect the most significant contributions made by each of the preceding periods. This new edition of the book first published in 1995 shows the evolution of the restoration work and the results of the first re-plantings 20 years ago. New illustrations and specially commissioned photography contrast with the plans, drawings, paintings and engravings of the era, resulting in a fascinating comparison of then and now. Each is accompanied by a short explanation that encourages the reader to relive the centuries that reflect the gardens.
