Alors Mansart s'écriait qu'il n'aurait jamais trouvé ce que le roi proposait : il éclatait en admiration, protestait qu'auprès de lui il n'était qu'un écolier, et il le faisait tomber de la sorte où il voulait, sans que le roi s'en doutât le moins du monde".

 Liberal Bruant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liberal Bruant (ca 1635 - Paris, November 22, 1697), was a French architect best known as the designer of the Hôtel des Invalides, Paris, now dominated by the dome erected by Jules Hardouin Mansart, his collaborator in earlier stages of the construction.
A comparison of Bruant's central entrance to the Invalides, under an arched cornice packed with military trophies with Mansart's Eglise du Dome (see Les Invalides), gives a clear idea of the difference between Bruant's High Baroque and Hardouin-Mansart's restrained and somewhat academic Late Baroque.
Libéral Bruant was the most notable in a family that produced a long series of architects active from the 16th to the 18th century.

The impressive DOme des Invalides (1706) in Paris is considered his most splendid achievement; it was added as a second church to the one constructed by Bruant and brought the scheme of the HOtel des Invalides to completion.
Much of Mansart's work was executed in the massive Roman baroque style, but some of his designs at Versailles point toward the lightness and elegance of the rococo.

Château of Dampierre-en-Yvelines: domesticated Baroque at the center of Louis XIV's inner circle The mansard roof, actually introduced by Francois Mansart (1598-1666), is a roof with two slopes on all four sides, with the lower slope nearly vertical and the upper nearly horizontal.
These really are "Mansart roofs." Under the influence of the neo-Baroque revival of the French Second Empire (1850 - 1870), the "mansard" became a common feature in many later 19th-century buildings in Europe and North America.
