Andre Le Notre

Andre Le Notre was a French landscape architect. He was born in 1613 and worked predominantly in the 17th century. Le Notre is best known for his garden designs, particularly the extensive formal gardens of the French Baroque style. His designs emphasized symmetry, geometric patterns, and the integration of architecture and landscape. Le Notre's work was characterized by his use of grand terraces, ornamental parterres, fountains, and reflecting pools. His famous works include the gardens of Versailles and Vaux-le-Vicomte. Le Notre's style became synonymous with the opulence and grandeur of the French royal court during the reign of Louis XIV.
