Jacques I Androuet du Cerceau

Jacques I Androuet du Cerceau, born in 1510 in Paris, France and died in 1584 in Annecy, is the founder of the Androuet du Cerceau family.

Jacques I Androuet du Cerceau is a well-known designer of architecture, ornament, furniture, metalwork and other decorative designs during the 16th century.

He introduces Renaissance architecture to France with the assistance of Pierre Lescot, Philibert Delorme and Jean Bullant.

Though he is referred to by contemporaries as an architect and is even appointed architecte du roi, he is remembered especially for his suites of engravings produced from 1549 (beginning with a suite of Triumphal arches) from his print shop in Orléans.
