Jean Mariette (22 June 1660 – 19 September 1742)[1] was a French engraver and print dealer and publisher. He was the father of Pierre-Jean Mariette.[2]
Jean Mariette was born in Paris,[3] the son of Pierre II Mariette (1634–1716) and grandson of Pierre I Mariette (1596–1657), both wealthy print publishers.[2] He studied drawing, painting, and engraving with his brother-in-law Jean-Baptiste Corneille, but after Charles Le Brun saw some of his engravings and advised him to focus on that, he stopped painting.[3] After his father's death, he took over one of the family's print businesses, the 'Librairie des Colonnes d'Hercule', whereas his older brother, Pierre-Joseph Mariette (1656–1729), inherited the business at the sign of 'L'Espérance'. Both were on the rue Saint-Jacques, Paris.[2]
In 1727 Jean Mariette published three volumes under the title L'Architecture françoise, a collection of plans, elevations, and cross sections of French buildings, which is one of the most important sources concerning French classical architecture.[2][4][5] According to the architectural historian Emil Kaufmann, the majority of these prints were designed and engraved by Jacques-François Blondel (who published his own Architecture françoise in 1752–1756), although other engravers, including Pierre Lepautre, Antoine Hérisset [fr], and Claude Lucas, and other designers, such as Delamonce, J. M. Chevotet, P. C. Prevostel, and Pineau, were also involved.[6] A fourth volume, published the same year under the same title, was a reedition of the Grand Marot, and a fifth volume in a larger format was published in 1738.[4][6]
