Description
Design for the gardens of the Château de Savigny-lès-Beaune (Castle of Savigny) in France. The design of the grounds is presented as a floorplan, with an indication of the castle and all other buildings in outline and pink wash. The redesign involved a conversion of the grounds into a romantic landscape garden with meandering walkways as had become fashionable, particularly in England in the course of the 18th century as a strong reaction against the highly organized geometrical designs of 17th-century France. Inscription (from left to right and top to bottom): ‘Moral’ [modern hand, in graphite]; ‘Projet de jardins / pour le château de / Savigny appartenant / à M (ademois) elle de Montauge’ [contemporary to the design]
