Gardens of VersaillesAndré Le Nôtre
Designed by André Le Nôtre (c. 1661), the gardens of Versailles are a supreme expression of French formal landscape design. Seen here with the Latona Fountain in the foreground and the Grand Canal stretching into the horizon, this vista captures the absolutist ideal of nature disciplined into order, echoing Louis XIV’s political power and cosmic ambition.
