Print, Design for a Garden Parterre of Cut Grass and Colored Gravel, from Nouveaux Livre de Parterres (New Book of Garden Beds) from Oeuvres du Sr. Marot
This is a Print. It was designed by Daniel Marot and published by Pierre Husson. It is dated ca. 1700 and we acquired it in 1988. Its medium is etching on cream laid paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
French designer Daniel Marot spent his career as a designer in Holland, working for the royal court. Marot produced extravagant designs for everything from beds, to curtains and mirrors. In his elaborate designs for gardens, Marot balanced a passion for ornament and order, as illustrated here with a semi-enclosed garden surrounded by a green arcade.
