Each laid down on a larger sheet of antique laid paper. Plate: 7 x 11 inches Daniel Marot (1661-1752) was a son of the French court architect Jean Marot (1619-1679). Members of the Marot family were among the many Huguenots who fled north to the Republic of the Seven United Provinces (Dutch Republic) after the abolition of the edict of Nantes in 1685. Marot was trained as a dessinateur in France, in the tradition of artists such as Jean Le Pautre and Jean Bérain. A dessinateur provided the designs for carpenters, gardeners, weavers, smiths, woodcutters and cabinetmakers. His earliest signed works are engravings that were created for volumes on French architecture published by his father, who clearly was a great influence on his development as an architectural draughtsman. Soon after his arrival in The Netherlands, Marot came to the service of the courtly circle of the house of Orange, who were stadtholders at the time. Stadtholder William III, together with his wife Mary II would become joint monarchs of England, Scotland and Ireland as well as elected stadholders in the Dutch Republic. Marot brought the fashionable French style of Louis XIV to the Netherlands and England, for which he found an eager clientele amongst the ruling house of Orange, their courtiers, the wealthy merchant classes and some municipal commissioners. Throughout his long career he would remain faithful to the Louis XIV style, although his approach and adaptation of the style would vary and a variety of materials and influences would be implemented in his designs.
