André Parmentier
André Joseph Ghislain Parmentier, also known as Andrew Parmentier (3 July 1780 in Enghien, Austrian Netherlands – 27 November 1830 in Brooklyn) is one of a generation of American landscape designers who arrived from Europe in the early years after Independence (not to be confused with the French pharmacist and promoter of the potato, Antoine-Augustin Parmentier). Many of these designers, including William Russell Birch and George Isham Parkyns, also practiced landscape depiction, reinforcing the picturesque connection of landscape art as both making and representing places. He married Sylvie Parmentier (1793–1882) on 3 May 1813 at Tubize, France (now in Belgium).
