<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>This visually stunning volume explores Monticello, both house and plantation, with texts that present a current assessment of Jefferson's cultural contributions to his noteworthy home and the fledgling country.<br> </b> <p/>Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), third president of the United States, designed his Virginia residence with innovations that were progressive, even unprecedented, in the new world. Six acclaimed arts and cultural luminaries pay homage to Jefferson, citing his work at Monticello as testament to his genius in art, culture, and science, from his adaptation of Palladian architecture, his sweeping vision for landscape design, his experimental gardens, and his passion for French wine and cuisine to his eclectic mix of European and American art and artifacts and the creation of the country's seminal library. Each writer considers the important role, and the painful reality, of Jefferson's enslaved workforce, which made his lifestyle and plantation possible. This book, illustrated with superb photography by Miguel Flores-Vianna, is a necessary addition to the libraries of those who love historical architecture and landscape design, art and cultural history, and the lives of prominent Americans.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Leslie Greene Bowman </b>is president of Monticello and the Thomas Jefferson Foundation.<b> Charlotte Moss </b>is a designer and author. <b>Miguel Flores-Vianna </b>is an interiors photographer. <b>Annette Gordon-Reed </b>is a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian. <b>Carla Hayden </b>is the 14th Librarian of Congress. <b>Jay McInerney </b>is a novelist and wine columnist. <b>Jon Meacham </b>is a Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian. <b>Xavier Salomon </b>is the deputy director/chief curator at The Frick Collection (NYC). <b>Gil Schafer </b>is an award-winning architect. <b>Alice Waters</b> is a chef, activist, and author. <b>Thomas Woltz </b>is an award-winning landscape architect.
