Portrait d'un homme heureux
André Le Nôtre, 1613-1700
Book • 2000
This book delves into the relationship between Louis XIV, the most powerful monarch of his time, and André Le Nôtre, the renowned landscape architect.
Together, they created what is described as the 'greatest book in the world' - the gardens of Versailles, a testament to their enduring collaboration and the embodiment of the 'Sun King's' vision.
The narrative highlights the contrast between the monarch's power and Le Nôtre's connection to nature, as well as the impact of their work on other historical figures like the Chinese Emperor Quianlong.
