The World of Andre Le Notre
ISBN: 9780812221367 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

This style in its turn would succumb to another "national" mode, the English school of naturalistic and picturesque landscapes. But as Thierry Mariage makes clear, the garden style that Le Notre brought to perfection need not be seen in opposition to the later "English" one.
