	shorttitle = {The "{Grande} {Commande}" for the sculpture of the {Parterre} d'{Eau} at {Versailles}, 1672 - 1683},
	abstract = {The Parterre d'eau of the palace of Versailles is the arrangement of basins on the land immediately adjacent to the central garden facade. From 1672 to 1683 a parterre consisting of five large basins designed by Charles Le Brun occupied the site. Le Brun also designed a large sculpture program known as the "Grande Commande" to decorate it.

The first chapter of the dissertation uses contemporary documents to trace the history of the site of the Parterre d'eau from the work done at Versailles in the 1630s until the Parterre reached its final form in 1690, emphasizing the design of the gardens and the practical aspects of construction.

The second chapter discusses the Apollonian iconography of the "Grande Commande" and its place within the iconography of Louis XIV, as well as changing styles of allegory of the King and the significance of these changes for both the "Grande Commande" and the Versailles sculptures which followed it.

The third chapter discusses the cooperation of the artists and administrators who, working as part of the Batiments du Roi, were responsible for the design and decoration of Versailles in general and the Parterre d'eau in particular. It examines the ideas they brought with them to the project, how they generated ideas, and how this affected both the concept and appearance of the gardens at Versailles.

There are also three appendices: a catalogue of plans and views, a sculpture catalogue, and an appendix of documents.},
