"Perspective View of the Garden of Vaux-le-Vicomte" is a notable engraving by the French artist Israel Silvestre the Younger (1621–1691), who was renowned for his works depicting landscapes and topographical views of French architecture and gardens during the 17th century. This particular piece is a representation of the gardens of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, which is situated in Maincy, near Melun, southeast of Paris, France. The château and its grounds are historically significant as they were designed by the famed landscape architect André Le Nôtre, architect Louis Le Vau, and painter-decorator Charles Le Brun, a collaboration that would later be employed in the creation of the Palace of Versailles.

Silvestre's engraving captures the grandeur and symmetry of the French formal garden, or jardin à la française, a style that Le Nôtre perfected and which became emblematic of the French Baroque era. The artwork provides viewers with a visual narrative of the garden's elaborate parterres, water features, and sculptural elements, all arranged in a harmonious and geometrically precise manner. The perspective used by Silvestre in this engraving emphasizes the grandiose scale and the ordered beauty of the garden, reflecting the contemporary taste and the absolutist ideals of the time, where nature was to be tamed and shaped to reflect the glory and power of its owner, Nicolas Fouquet, the superintendent of finances for King Louis XIV.

The "Perspective View of the Garden of Vaux-le-Vicomte" is not only significant for its aesthetic qualities but also as a historical document. It provides insight into the design principles of the era and the cultural importance of landscape architecture within the context of French nobility's representation of power. Silvestre's work is an important contribution to the visual arts and historical record of 17th-century France, offering a glimpse into the grandeur of the period's garden design and the artistic achievements of the time.
