  CLEMENT MAROT - LoveToKnow Article on CLEMENT MAROT
It was the palmy time of the rhtoriqueurs, poets who combined stilted and pedantic language with an obstinate adherence to the allegorical manner of the I 5th century and to the most complicated and artificial forms of the ballade and the rondeau.
It is certain that Marot, like most of Marguerites literary court, and perhaps more than most of them, was greatly attracted by her gracious ways, her unfailing kindness, and her admirable intellectual accomplishments, but there is not the slightest ground for thinking that his attachment was other than platonic.
The victory, as far as wit was concerned, naturally rested with Marot, but his biographers are probably not fanciful in supposing that a certain amount of odium was created against him by the squabble, and that, as in Dolets case, his subsequent misfortunes were not altogether unconnected with a too little governed tongue and pen.

They work down symmetrically, expressing the subordinate roles of their use and occupants, and the final outbuildings in Marot's plan extend along the public thoroughfare, like a well-made and delightfully regular street.
Daniel Marot's Het Loo garden does not dominate the landscape like Louis' German imitators, though in his idealized plan (engraving, above right), Marot extends the axis.
The main garden, with conservative rectangular beds instead of more elaborately shaped ones, is an enclosed space surrounded by raised walks, as a Renaissance garden might be, tucked into the woods for private enjoyment, the garden not of a king but a stathouder.

Like a careful antiques dealer he advises that "this splay is often so slight as to be imperceptible except by careful measuring, but it ought always to be there." In fact, this is only one of many wise counsels to the cautious buyer who fears being landed with a freshly minted or happily married antique.
On the historical front, Bowett appears to be particularly resistant to the accepted notions of a strong Dutch influence and the sovereign power of Daniel Marot's designs under William III.
In such cases the term is positively unhelpful, since it simply fudges the issue of correct identification." Turning to Marot, a Frenchman, he writes "that the phrase 'in the style of' or 'after' Daniel Marot is often used as a synonym for 'Anglo-Dutch'.

Marot had trained under Jean Berain and, leaving France at the revocation, he worked in both the Netherlands and England producing thousands of designs in the French neo-classical court style which was described at the time as ‘a la manniere de France’.
The octagonal wine cooler well illustrates Marot’s style, although exact copies of French silver articles are in fact not common in English silver.
Interestingly, though, it bears the mark not of a Huguenot, but of Anthony Nelme, who took in a parcel of Lord Sackville’s plate for refashioning in 1705 and was one of the most prosperous of the native silversmiths of this period.

The "Revocation of the Edict of Nantes" has been criticized in a manner similar to criticism of the Nazi Holocaust and the Spanish Inquisition; in short, the revocation drained France of a great deal of skilled craftsmen, including key designers, such as Daniel Marot.
Upon leaving France, Huguenots took with them knowledge of important techniques and styles -- which had a significant effect on the quality of the silk, plate glass, silversmithing (see: Huguenot silver), and cabinet-making industries of those regions to which they relocated.

These two armchairs are from a large suite of furniture comprising a bed, eight armchairs, four side chairs, and a pair of stools made about 1689 for Daniel Finch, second earl of Nottingham and seventh earl of Winchelsea (1647–1730), for the state bedroom and dressing room of his country seat, Burley-on-the-Hill in Rutland.
The tall raked backs and sinuously scrolled arms and legs reflect the style of Daniel Marot (1663–1752), the French architect and designer who worked closely with William and Mary in both Holland and England.
The chairs retain their original and exceedingly rare Genoese cut-velvet covers, woven in several shades of red, blue, and green on an oyster ground in a Baroque pattern of scrolling leaves with matching tasseled fringe.

Northern designers took a particular interest in the application of textile designs in their carving, looking to the work of exiled Parisian designers such as Daniel Marot (1663-1752) for inspiration.
The combination of plumes with lambrequins in the canopy of this mirror closely resembles the form of an early eighteenth century bed valance, examples of which can be seen in Marot's designs for chairs, stools and pelmets (circa 1690 - 1702).
