	Andre Le Notre Biography / Biography of Andre Le Notre Main Biography
		Born in Paris on March 12, 1613, André Le Nôtre was early trained in the practical aspects of gardening procedure, being both the son and grandson of gardeners who had worked at the palace of the Tuileries.
		Though Le Nôtre succeeded to the position of his father as chief gardener at the Tuileries in 1637, it was not until he began his work on Nicolas Fouquet's château of Vaux-le-Vicomte in 1655 that the landscape architect became famous.
		Le Nôtre's masterpiece was the vast garden project for Versailles, which he began in 1662 and which engaged his talents throughout the remainder of the century.

	The French landscape designer André Le Nôtre, best known for his work and design for Louis the XIV palace ...
		Le Notre education and training was the epitome of a classical and academic training, he followed the "proper training of a gardener set by Boyceau and studied painting and architecture with Simon Vouet and Francois Mansart." (F. Hazlehurst, grove art).
		The monumental gardens that Le Notre designed possessed a typical and standard form, the gardens were very geometric and mathematical and utilized the technique of optical illusion to create the desired effect and play on the eye of a vast, sprawling landscape (H. Fox).
		Le Nôtre was credited with creating a set of rules for gardens, as written down by one of his pupils Alexander Le Blond in La theorie et la pratique du jardinage 1739.

		Le lucciole europee al confronto risplendono in modo quasi continuo per dichiararsi il loro amore quando è il momento: le femmine, prive di ali e non molto diverse dalle loro larve, sono responsabili del nome "vermi luminosi" che in molti paesi viene dato alle lucciole.
		Le Notre usò abbondantemente i motivi d'acqua, cercando però di contenerne il dinamismo, appena accennato da piccoli getti, e preferendo piuttosto creare giochi di riflessi.

		André Le Nôtre (1613-1700) was the greatest landscape architect in France, and his work for Louis XIV (the Sun King) laid the groundwork for the baroque style in landscaping.
		Many of the principles Le Nôtre tried and tested at Vaux were later employed to great acclaim at Versailles, which he designed at the height of his career.
		Le Notre's resulting masterpiece of sweeping, illusory vistas and geometrically harmonious lawn and embroidered parterres (closely cropped shrubs carved into fine, symmetric scrolls) immediately gained the designer notoriety and made Fouquet's home the most modern and fashionable of the 17th century.

		Le Nôtre's background was a great advantage, for he was born in 1613 into a gardening family.
		André's early training in various disciplines conformed exactly to the ideals that were described by Jacques Boyceau de la Baraudière in his Traité du jardinage in 1636.
		Boyceau advised that a good-natured strong young man inclined to gardening should be taught to read and write, to understand the principles of painting and sculpture and then to move on to mechanics, geometry, arithmetic and finally architecture.

		In this charming paean to Louis XIV's gardener André Le Nôtre and his gardens, Orsenna, a novelist and head of the National School of Landscaping at Versailles, guides us graciously through Le Nôtre's quintessentially French landscapes, combating perceptions that they are austere, rigid or calculated.
		Among the greatest secrets harbored by these studied collages of water, stone and vegetation is their construction: Le Nôtre left no written account of his plans or activities, nor of his conversations with his boss.
		Driven by the king's ferocious ego and Le Nôtre's determination to have the last word with nature, this unrestrained extravagance vitalizes Versailles, belying its cool surface restraint.

		Virtuos richtet Le Nôtre sein Gartenkonzept auf diese höfischen, zutiefst theatralischen Funktionen aus und befriedigt zugleich die beiden höchsten Ansprüche, die seine Epoche an ein Kunstwerk stellte: disziplinierte Regelmäßigkeit und unaufhörliche Abwechslung.
		Le Nôtres weiträumige Raumorganisation, die das Schloss, den Garten, die ganze Umgebung in einen einheitlichen Grundplan zusammenfasst, macht ihn zum ersten großen Landschaftsgestalter.

	Chateau de Vaux-le-Vicomte, France
		This achievement was conceived through the collaboration of three men of genius whom Fouquet had chosen for the task: the architect Louis Le Vau (1612-1670), the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun (1619-1690), and the landscape gardener André Le Nôtre (1613-1700).
		Set within a huge green space which, from the entrance gate to the furthest statue of Hercules, extends in length to around 5000 feet (1500 meters) and to a sixth of this in width, the château dominates from whatever distance it is seen.
		The vast area, Le Nôtre's first masterpiece, is divided up into a sequence of terraces, forming an orderly composition of sculpted box gardens patterned after motifs from Turkish carpets, bordered flower beds, shrubberies, grottos, lawns, lakes and fountains.

		Le Nôtre created a Garden of Eden in the Ile de France, using ornamental lakes and canals, geometrically designed flower beds, and avenues bordered with statuary.
		Whereas the design of the typical Renaissance garden consisted of individual geometric units laid side by side, with a strong sense of compartmentalization, the gardens designed by Le Nôtre were unified by a dominant central axis that firmly controlled the movement of the spectator through the various lawns, gardens, and pools.

		At the opening of the eighteenth century, the dominant force in landscape design was Le Notre, chief garden designer for Louis XIV at Versaille.
		The most popular garden designs of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century were the French, Italian, and Dutch formal gardens executed to exhibit bilateral symmetry, and no one surpassed Le Notre in his realization of this rigid style.
		Versaille became the model for princely gardens throughout Europe, and this includes the garden laid out for William III in front of Wren's new east front of Hampton Court Palace.
