# Façade of the Church of the Feuillants, Paris [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MANSART, François]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Engraving ## Commentary Before 1630 Mansart had executed or modified three important buildings from which we can form some opinion of his early style and its sources. These are the façade of the church of the Feuillants in Paris \(1623\) and the châteaux of Berny \(designed in 1623\) and Balleroy \(begun in the late 1620s\). The façade of the Feuillants, known to us through the engraving by Jean Marot, brings out clearly Mansart's relation to Salomon de Brosse in his early years. It is basically a copy of the <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/b/brosse/gervais1.html'\)" href="/html/b/brosse/gervais1.html">two upper storeys of Saint-Gervais,</a> but with certain variations, such as the volutes and the obelisks. ## Related artworks - [Aerial view]() - [Aerial view]() - [Château de Berny]() - [Château de Berny]() - [Château de Berny]() - [Church and Convent of the Feuillants, Paris]() - [Elevation of the Hôtel Carnavalet, Paris]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
