Though Eric Haskell is a man of the 21st century, his interests are firmly planted in the French gardens of the 1700s.
The noted Francophile—twice knighted by the government of France—has a unique passion for the history of French aristocrats and royals who used their landscapes as status symbols.
Haskell will share his scholarly insights into this quirky world when he presents a free Masters Series talk titled “The Art of André Le Nôtre: Gardening for Grandeur in 17th-Century France” at 6 p.m. on March 13 in the Toledo Museum of Art Peristyle. See all
