Salomon de Brosse, born in Verneuil-en-Halatte (current department of Oise ) to 1565 or 1571 , buried in Paris on December 9 in 1626 , is a French architect. It has sometimes been erroneously named Jacques Brush or brush in some biographies until the late nineteenth century. His statue by Ottin overlooks the Cour Napoleon of the Louvre, the base figure wrongly a "J", a street of the 4th arrondissement of Paris also bears his name.
Summary |
Protestant , he could come to Paris after the promulgation of the Edict of Nantes by Henry IV. Son of Jean de Brosse, architect, and Julienne Androuet, Salomon de Brosse, respectively, and is grand son of Jacques I. Androuet Hoop and nephew of Jacques Androuet Hoop II , with whom he worked prior to his succession as an architect of Queen Marie de Medicis in 1614. In this context he drew up plans for the Palais du Luxembourg in Paris inspired the Pitti Palace.
His style is at the crossroads between Renaissance and seventeenth century , and we note that it can use as much language Mannerist (Castle Coulsdon ) than conventional and more sober, as in the Luxembourg Palace.
