Softcover. Small oblong quarto. Softcover. Illustrated wraps. 143 pages : illustrations (chiefly color), plans ; 17 x 25 cm. French text. This book is published to coincide with the eponymous exhibition held at the Château de la Roche-Guyon from September 9 to November 26, 2017. Admitted as an "architectural painter" to the Roya…l Academy in 1766, praised by Diderot, and appointed "designer of the King's Gardens," Hubert Robert is famous for his numerous views of ruins and landscapes. He also devoted part of his time to teaching drawing to amateurs. Aristocrats and financiers marveled at his work, copied it, and eagerly sought out the pieces of this "Robert of the Ruins," in which the spirit of the English garden and the fashionable "picturesque" style shines through. Soon, he was being asked to design landscape layouts, in other words, to contribute to the creation of gardens at Versailles, Rambouillet, Méréville, and La Roche-Guyon. In this castle, the La Rochefoucauld family estate and a place of botanical innovation since the beginning of the 18th century, the artist exercises his immense creative power and stages the posterity of his patrons. VG-. Wear around edges, and some heavy scuffing around the barcode on the rear panel.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Following France's defeat in the Seven Years War, a number of leading French aristocrats pointedly began to embrace English fashions, pastimes, and behaviors. What better means to demonstrate one's disaffection with the absolutist monarchy than to espouse the culture of Britain, its avowed e…nemy? These anglomanes wanted France to adopt Britain's more fluid social structure, dynamic economy, and pragmatic monarchy. Emulating their English peers, aristocratic anglomanes embraced landscape gardening as a fitting pastime. The studied naturalism of their 'English' landscapes was the antithesis of the formalism associated with the French court. The most prominent creators of the jardin anglais, men like the prince de Conti, the duc de Chartres, and the duc de Choiseul were also figureheads of the so-called Partie Patriote, an increasingly bold opposition faction. Frequently exiled from court, their jardins anglais came to represent their physical and ideological distance from Versailles, while their country estates were celebrated as visible manifestations of their opposition. This book explores the links between garden-making, politics, and ideological expression in the twilight of the Ancient Regime. It considers how, in this context of crisis, landscape design became a central form of ideological expression. With the advent of Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette, the book considers how English tastes progressively shed their transgressive and foreign associations and naturalistic landscapes soon made inroads at Versailles. Turning to a series of crises of the 1780s, it examines how the king, the queen, and their rivals used landscapes to materialise their respective visions of how the monarchy needed to evolve. Gardens in Revolution offers an incisive look into how aristocratic and royal landscapes were used to represent dissent, undermine, and then ultimately recast and reinvent absolutism in the pivotal decades preceding the French Revolution. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Add to basketHardback, Pages: 384 pages, Size:220 x 280 mm, Illustrations:263 col. Language:English. *new. ISBN 9781915487513. Summary France in the mid-1760s witnessed what the aphorist and garden lover the prince de Ligne hailed as ?La r volution du go t? ? the revolution of taste. A small number of dissident and philosophically minded ari…stocrats remade their gardens in the bizarre and eccentric manner of the English. The informality and apparent naturalism of these jardins anglais stood in marked contrast to the symmetry, regularity, and proudly assumed artifice of the jardins la fran aise, the century-old legacy of Andr Le N tre and his master Louis XIV. The English-inflected aesthetic was all the more controversial because France had just suffered humiliating defeat at the hands of England in the Seven Years? War. Landscape gardens formed part of a broader taste for English fashions, pastimes, and mindsets that was derisively termed Anglomania by traditionalists. Louis XVI opined to his brother-in-law Joseph II that anglomanie was the most pernicious threat to the well-being of France. What did it mean for the kingdom?s great dynasts to reframe their identities in the image of the nation?s rival? Were these aesthetic developments simply a question of fashion or did they portend a deeper instability and discontentment in the upper echelons of the Bourbon monarchy? How did new English-inflected settings allow aristocrats and the people to interact differently? Gardens in Revolution argues that royal, aristocratic and public gardens were catalysts in early modern political culture: settings that allowed dynasts to redefine their identities, transform their interactions with the press and the people, and in so doing contest the limited influence and autonomy afforded them within the Bourbon state. Covering the three decades from the end of the Seven Years? War to the abolition of the monarchy, it charts how estates and gardens like Marie-Antoinette?s Petit-Trianon and Saint-Cloud, the comte d?Artois? Bagatelle, or the duc d?Orl ans? Monceau and Le Raincy served as instruments of communication, self-expression and self-representation. It argues that English-inflected aesthetics were a critical means for grandees to manifest their ?affabilite ,? or openness to the public, and their dissatisfaction with the current political order.
