从皇宫看花园

我去巴黎是为了向 "法国花园 "的天才和景观建筑的主要人才:安德烈-勒诺特致敬。 我花了一周时间走访并拍摄了他的三个主要作品:沃-勒-维孔特、尚蒂伊和不可错过的凡尔赛公园。

勒诺特尔出生并终生生活在杜伊勒里宫,他的父亲和祖父已经在那里担任国王的园丁。 这种特殊的宫廷地位使年轻的安德烈能够在卢浮宫的工作室里跟随西蒙-武埃大师学习绘画。 因此,他在卢浮宫的文化中接受了六年的扎实训练,使他在自己选择的职业中具有不同寻常的博学能力。

24岁时,他从父亲和祖父手中接管了杜伊勒里花园。 然而,除了维护花园及其植物学方面的工作外,他的野心是在大空间中想象和创造新的构图。

宫殿的景色

但园丁需要一个伟大的客户来完成一项伟大的工作,勒诺特尔出现了,他就是路易十四时期的财政大臣尼古拉-富凯。 富凯意识到自己的尊贵地位,于1641年买下了沃克斯-勒维孔特庄园,并委托建造一座华丽的房子。 他召集建筑师路易-勒沃、画家查尔斯-勒布伦和园丁安德烈-勒诺特尔一起设计了一个一起创造了一些将被载入史册的东西。

堡垒 1661年8月17日,他邀请了整个法庭和国王本人。

会场和宴会的浮华完全让路易十四羡慕不已。 国王意识到,与沃城相比,凡尔赛只是一座简陋的宫殿。 他的怨恨让他逮捕了富凯,借口是他滥用王室资金来支付这些奢侈的费用。

对富凯来说,沃克斯的成功是他的败笔;富凯最后死在了监狱里,却没有享受到这块地产。 对勒诺特尔来说,沃克斯是一个将他的梦想从纸上变成现实的好机会。 他不仅创造了第一个 "法国式 "的大花园,而且还收到了国王的委托,改造凡尔赛的花园。

Vaux-Le-Vicomte

我向沃克斯的几何和对称花园投降了。 富凯宫花园的影响甚至不在于它们的大小,就像凡尔赛宫一样。 它们的秘密在于其所有组成部分的完美平衡。 如果说凡尔赛宫让我们不知所措,那么沃克斯则让我们陶醉。

勒诺特首次设计了长 花坛 在树木的衬托下,花园延伸到房子的长度,并以海格力斯的雕塑结束,这是伟大的中轴线和整个构图的焦点。

勒诺特的绘画知识使他能够利用 "延迟透视"。 通过考虑观察者的视角,他能够计算出物体的大小和形状。 花坛 明智地操纵平面,例如,将大面积的水面置于低于水面的高度。 花坛 为我们提供了一种花园构成的错觉,对于从房子里观察它的人和走过它的人来说是不同的。

山洞和海格力斯雕像

我穿过花园,爬上山丘,那里有一尊海格力斯的雕像,是在富凯被捕后放在那里的。 这座雕塑已经成为一个悲剧性的象征。 主人公 他提供了一切,却没有享受到什么。

我参观过的所有勒诺特尔的花园都得到了完美的维护,今天它们的重建非常接近其原始创作。 这是因为他的工作得到了密集的记录,特别是在伊斯拉尔-西尔维斯特的著名版画中。

天龙湖

让我们着迷的不仅仅是这位园丁的天才,勒诺特尔的性格本身也是一个有趣的话题。 据说他在见到国王路易十四时亲吻了他的双颊(这种做法对国王来说是不可想象的,他的臣民甚至不能对他举目远眺)。 然而,由于他的态度和蔼可亲,他从未引起过凡尔赛宫廷中频繁出现的嫉妒和报复。

勒诺特在87岁时去世,受到所有人的钦佩,受到许多人的尊敬,受到世界上最强大的君主的哀悼。 也许这就是为什么他的传记被命名为 "一个幸福人的肖像"。
