The Tuileries Gardens, Yesterday and Today
Created in the 16th century for Catherine de Medici's new Tuileries Palace, landscaped in the 17th century by André Le Notre, and renovated in the 20th century by Louis Benech and Pascal Cribier, the Tuileries Gardens remain a popular place to walk in the heart of Paris. Its groves, flower beds and bassins invite visitors to contemplate and daydream. As an extension of the Musée du Louvre, it is a veritable open-air museum, which presents masterpieces such as "The Kiss" by Rodin and Penone's "The Tree of Vowels". This guidebook is designed to accompany readers during their visit of the Tuilieries Gardens, by taking them on a journey through the centuries in one of the most beautiful gardens in France.
Public Parks, Private Gardens
The spectacular transformation of Paris during the 19th century into a city of tree-lined boulevards and public parks both redesigned the capital and inspired the era’s great Impressionist artists. The renewed landscape gave crowded, displaced urban dwellers green spaces to enjoy, while suburbanites and country-dwellers began cultivating their own flower gardens. As public engagement with gardening grew, artists increasingly featured flowers and parks in their work. Public Parks, Private Gardens includes masterworks by artists such as Bonnard, Cassatt, Cézanne, Corot, Daumier, Van Gogh, Manet, Matisse, Monet, and Seurat. Many of these artists were themselves avid gardeners, and they painted parks and gardens as the distinctive scenery of contemporary life. Writing from the perspective of both a distinguished art historian and a trained landscape designer, Colta Ives provides new insights not only into these essential works, but also into this extraordinarily creative period in France’s history.
