Synopsis
A detailed account of the ornamental garden structures which were created for the French monarchy and royal circles, and some that embellished the gardens of the First Empire. Pavilions and gardens are inseparable as the latter provided the mise en scene for these little architectural gems. As well as complementing and enriching the garden, they were most often intended to be lived in., This is an intriguing and detailed account of the ornamental garden structures which were created for the French monarchy and royal circles from the late 1600s to the Revolution in 1789. These morceau d'architecture, which we call pavilions, became a distinctive, highly accomplished art form appealing not only to royalty and members of the court circle, but also to the bourgeoisie. As well as complementing and enriching the gardens in which they were sited, these charming structures not only served as mises-en-scène for extravagant parties but also provided hideaways from the unremitting protocol which still governed at Versailles and among the aristocracy. Built by the leading architects arid craftsmen of the day, the garden pavilions were of extraordinary stylistic diversity, commensurate with the purpose for which they were designed. The grandeur of the Sun King's Grand Trianon, for example, proclaimed the nature of the absolute monarchy, serving a political as well as an aesthetic purpose. On the other hand, the Pavillon Français of his great-grandson Louis XV provided a centrepiece for his ornamented garden. Outdoor meals were served in Madame de Pompadour's salon frais, while Marie Antoinette's Bélvèdere at the Petit Trianon was given over to concerts and conversation. Whatever shape they assumed, these ephemeral structures and the landscapes which they adorned were intended as a refuge arid escape: an antique Arcadia, a Claudian scene with billowing trees and curving bridges, a primeval wilderness, a manicured farm with dairy and sheep, an eclectic paradise of kiosks, tents, temples, tombs and grottoes. For the ultimately doomed society of eighteenth century France these dwellings of fantasy in gardens of illusion assume a particular significance. Eleanor DeLorme, in writing of the activities of the court and their use of pavilions, has incorporated much entertaining anecdotal material which highlights her subject matter arid enlivens her narrative. The book sheds a different perspective and new light on a much misunderstood period and under-researched subject, while the author's scholarship is reflected in an extremely readable, generously illustrated text. Her book will therefore appeal to a wide and varied readership.
