From the end of the 14th to the beginning of the 17th century, the Renaissance saw the flowering of a poetic art which accompanied the development of the art and science of gardens, which occupy a prominent place in humanist thought.
Seven poets, from Francis Petrarch to William Shakespeare, enjoy the charms of the garden, in their private sphere as well as in the service and praise of princes. Renaissance gardens, from the medieval heritage to new forms of representation of knowledge, thought, and sensitivity, stimulate and sometimes even anticipate poetry.
Not only did these authors choose the garden as a privileged place of creation, but poetry also slips into the smallest details of an art that is paradoxically alive and perishable.
The collection of works presented, mainly from French and foreign public collections, describes a journey divided into seven stages. Each of these sections is placed under the gaze of one of the chosen poets and dedicated to both the reading and the presentation of works directly related to its author.
