Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 192 pages. The charming garden follies of pre-Revolutionary France, spanning 150 years and the reigns of four monarchs, are today known almost exclusively to scholars. Ima ginative creations of France's greatest architects and eloquent symbols of their era, they were built for the pleasure of the Bourbon kings and their courts. Ma ny of these buildings have been destroyed or severely altered and the only recor ds that survive are the drawings, engravings, architectural plans, and, more rar ely, paintings of the period.Bernd H. Dams and Andrew Zega have made a major contribution to our knowledge of these structures in a magnificent collection o f contemporary watercolor renderings based on rigorous scholarship and architect ural precision depicting the most significant examples of garden architecture bu ilt in France from the 1630s to the Revolution. Their lively and informative tex t, which combines architectural history with fascinating insights and amusing an ecdotes, brings these remarkable buildings and the vanished world that created t hem vividly to life.Each folly is the subject of a chapter in which the auth ors' watercolors are supplemented by portraits of architects and patrons, painti ngs, drawings, plans, elevations, and interior views. Examined chronologically, they provide a delightful perspective on the history of French garden design fro m the Italianate influences of the late Renaissance to the exoticism of the deca des preceding the Revolution.Moving through political, social, and garden hi story, readers will discover the unique world of charm and pleasure that was cul tivated in France for nearly two centuries. This exquisitely designed book, whic h includes a visitor's guide to the follies that may still be seen today, is cer.…
