| has gloss | eng: Claude Desgotz was the nephew and protegé of André Le Nôtre , the designer of the French formal gardens at Vaux-le-Vicomte and Versailles that set the pattern for grand gardening in France up to the Revolution, in spite of increasing competition from the informal English landscape style. The tradition was kept vital through apprenticeship connections in the generation following Le Nôtre's death (1700). A principal representative in this tradition was Claude Desgotz, "a worthy heir and a great talent in gardening", remarked the master teacher of architecture Jacques-François Blondel. |
