Parterre met grote broderiemotieven 1670 - 1680

André Le Nôtre, a renowned French landscape architect, designed this intricate plan for a parterre garden with large embroidery motifs, dated between 1670 and 1680. This detailed engraving showcases Le Nôtre's signature style, incorporating elaborate swirls and symmetrical patterns. The design features a rectangular frame with a central motif of intertwined vines, accented by a series of circles within a larger swirl. This intricate layout exemplifies the formality and order associated with French Baroque gardens, a style Le Nôtre helped popularize. The print, housed in the Rijksmuseum, serves as a testament to the architectural genius of Le Nôtre, whose designs transformed the landscape of Europe.
