Jules Hardouin-Mansart was a grand nephew and a disciple of the famed architect François Mansart for whom the Mansard roof was named.
In 1675 Mansart became official architect to the king and from 1678 was occupied with redesigning and enlarging the palace of Versailles.

 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.
