Charles-Claude Flahaut de la Billarderie, comte d'Angiviller (1730–1809) was the director of the Bâtiments du Roi, a forerunner of a minister of fine arts in charge of the royal building works, under Louis XVI of France, from 1775. Through Flahaut, virtually all official artistic patronage flowed.
After the Revolution he was accused of mishandling public property and emigrated, settling in Hamburg, where he died in 1809.
