French neoclassical architect. Born in Dormans, Marne. Moved to Paris to train under François Blondel. Though he had never visited Italy, he was deeply influenced by Italian architecture, and Piranesi's prints of ancient Roman ruins in particular became his source of architectural imagery. After 1771, he was commissioned to design works by Madame du Barry, the favorite of Louis XV, and built a villa in Loubouchènes, which is decorated with such a variety of motifs that it is said to be a specimen of French neoclassicism. He also designed many other residences, including the Hôtel Terrusson in Paris (1780), and in recent years his reputation has been enhanced by his collection of architectural sketches based on his own original concepts, "Architecture from the Viewpoint of Art, Customs, and Law" (1804).

フランス新古典主義の建築家。マルヌ県ドルマンに生まれる。パリに出てフランソア・ブロンデルのもとで修業。一度もイタリアを訪れたことがなかったが、イタリア建築に深く影響され、とくに古代ローマの遺構を題材にしたピラネージの版画は、彼の建築イメージの供給源となった。1771年以降ルイ15世の寵姫(ちょうき)デュ・バリー夫人から設計を委嘱されるようになり、ルーブシェンヌの別邸を建てたが、この建物はフランス新古典主義の標本といわれるほど多彩なモチーフで装われている。そのほかパリのオテル・テリュッソン(1780)など多数の邸館を設計したが、独自の構想による建築スケッチを集めた『美術、風俗、法規の諸点からみた建築』(1804)によって近年彼の評価が高められた。 [濱谷勝也] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
