Real & Imaginary Garden Celebrations - Attr to Louis de Caullery 1555-1622

Attributed to Louis de Caullery (Dutch-Flemish artist, 1555-1622) In the Park of a Classic Palace

Louis de Caullery (Dutch-Flemish artist, 1555-1622) also known as Luis de Koller, Luis de Kaulleri, Louis de Coulery, specialized in genre, allegory, architecture, & landscape painting.  Like many Flemish artists of the period, he had traveled to & worked in Italy. A circle of like-minded artists gathered around him in Antwerp, painting scenes of banquets, balls, carnivals, & other celebrations often in gardens. The architecture & the parterres of the gardens are precisely drawn, often in skillfully telescoped perspective.

17C Dutch Gardens by Jan van der Groen (1635-1671)

1670 Jan van der Groen's (1635-1671) Den Nederlandtsen Hovenier from www.biolib.de 6020.  

In 17C England, the relationship between man & nature was evolving, as Francis Bacon (1561-1626) promoted man as "the minister & interpreter of Nature."  The 17C Dutch property owner believed that it was his religious duty to order God's creation - Nature untamed.  Improving, clipping, trimming, & geometrically ordering Nature was morally righteous. God's improved garden must become a balance of beauty & utility. This view of Nature perfected was promoted in gardening manuals, such as 1669 De Nederlandtsen Hovenier by Jan van der Groen (1635-1671), the gardener of Orange. It was man's responsibility to see that God's gift should be "dressed up. made fine, in good order, elegant & pleasurable." The book functioned as a manual & a visual source of information on "Dutch Classic Garden Architecture."  The typical 17C Dutch design pattern has the house standing at the end of an imaginary axis, which divides a rectangular piece of land into two halves. If possible, the rectangle has ideal dimensions, length & width as four to three. Generally, the whole is enclosed by trees, but it may also be surrounded by a canal system. In this perfection of God's undisciplined Nature, the rectangle itself is again divided into square gardens, usually decorated with French foliage & Italian flowers. In this garden may be mazes, deciduous walks & deciduous giants. Walks guide along artfully constructed trellises, & there are also low fruit trees in diagonal rows intermingled with berries & grapes. Box hedges often surround low ornamental vegetation. There are also flower beds with pots on tiles. The geometric practical kitchen garden, a square or rectangle, was divided into equal parts by crossing paths. Roots, salad plants, & aromatic & medicinal herbs filled the beds. Useful herbs were part of another important component of Dutch garden design. In addition to their beauty & recreational uses, gardens also had to be practical & productive, providing fruits, vegetables, & herbs. Van der Groen insisted that these gardens should be profitable, healthful, pleasurable, & salutary. The oak, maple, & ash trees provided shade for the walkways & wood for warmth & building.  The garden's decorative water could also serve as a pond for edible fish & irrigation for the growing plants.

1404 Gardeners Plant a Garden

The Four Seasons - Lente (Spring) From a series of 4 plates (Hollstein 1404-1407) plates originally published by Assuerus van Londerseel. In this garden, a gentlelady and a couple oversee the work of the male & female gardeners.  The garden has a fence surrounding raised geometric beds.  The men seem to be digging & raking to prepare the beds, while the women seem to be planting. The workers have returned the pots to the garden, as the weather warms.

Louis de Caullery (Dutch-Flemish artist, 1555-1622) also known as Luis de Koller, Luis de Kaulleri, Louis de Coulery, specialized in genre, allegory, architecture, & landscape painting.  Like many Flemish artists of the period, he had traveled to & worked in Italy.

1754 Allegories In a Garden

1754 Spring from The Four Seasons published by Thomas Major London. People appear to work in the walled sunken garden behind the group. A man hands a flower to a young woman sitting on a terrace with her attendant standing behind them.  A boy at right has a parrot perched on his hand.  They are in a garden with a statue of a Venus & an arch at left, through which a couple can be seen in an embrace. Plants in pots dot the area around the group.

Mystery Garden 20C or 17C ?

Who painted this?  When?  What does the painting depict?  Cannot find it.  Please let me know.  Thank you very much in advance.

Perhaps 1930s.  Perhaps 300 years earlier.  I am guessing 1930s.  It seems to have elements that look right for a 16-17C date, but the garden looks too cartoon-like.
