- Jacques Lemercier was a French architect and engineer, one of the influential trio that included Louis Le Vau and François Mansart who formed the classicizing French Baroque manner, drawing from French traditions of the previous century and current Roman practice the fresh, essentially French synthesis associated with Cardinal Richelieu and Louis XIII. Lemercier was the son of a master mason, one of a large interrelated tribe of professionals. Profiting by a voyage to Italy with a long stay in Rome, presumably from about 1607 to 1610, Lemercier developed the simplified classicizing manner established by Salomon de Brosse, who died in 1636, and whose Palais du Luxembourg for Marie de Medici Lemercier would see to completion. On his return to France, after several years working as an engineer building bridges, his first major commission, however, was to complete the Parisian Church of the Oratorians, (1616), which had been begun by Charles Métezeau; its success made his reputation. As early as 1618 he appears as architecte du roy, with a salary of 1200 livres, out of which he had to reimburse his atelier. In 1625 Richelieu put him in charge of the main royal project, the galleries being added to the Louvre, where Lemercier was working to the design established by Pierre Lescot a generation before; for the sake of regularity, Lescot's ranges in the Cour Carré were multiplied round further courtyards, quadrupling the building area, each of the four sides having a pavilion at its center. In this manner Lemercier built the northern half of the west side and the famous Pavillon de l'Horloge at the center of the west wing. Its high squared dome breaks the wing's roofline and three arched openings provide access to the enclosed court. Two superposed orders of columns and rich sculptural decor in pediments and niches, on piers and panels are kept under control by strong horizontal cornice lines. During 1638 and 1639 Lemercier was appointed premier architecte charged with supervision of all the royal building enterprises, in which capacity he fell into a disagreeable dispute with the cultivated Nicolas Poussin about the decorations in the Louvre. The Hôtel de Liancourt (1623) stands out among Lemercier's Paris hôtels particuliers for aristocratic patrons. For Richelieu Lemercier built the Paris residence (from 1627 on), the "Palais-Cardinal" which still forms the nucleus of the Palais Royal, where Lemercier's work can be seen in the cour d'honneur facing the Place. A more expansive town-planning project, one of the most ambitious non-military French projects of the century, was the palatial residence, the grand parish church and the entire new town of Richelieu, in Poitou. The lost château itself was an improvisation on the theme set by Brosse's Luxembourg. Also for the Cardinal Lemercier rebuilt the Château de Rueil, not so far from Paris, also demolished. The Château of Thouars, with its majestic long façade, is his also, and survives. Less known, because gardens are less permanent, are parterre gardens laid out to Lemercier's designs, at Montjeu, at Richelieu and at Rueil (Mignot; Gady). At the Sorbonne, the college has been rebuilt, but its domed church (1635) is the acknowledged surviving masterpiece of Lemercier. The hemispherical dome on a tall octagonal drum, first of its type in France, has four small cupolas in the angles of the Greek cross above the two Corinthian orders on the façade, of full columns below, flat pilasters above. The interior was intended to be frescoed. The square intersection is surrounded by cylindrical vaults and a semicircular choir apse. The north side consists of a portico. In the church Richelieu was interred in 1642. At the royal abbey church of Val-de-Grâce Lemercier succeeded the elder Mansart who completed the structure to the cornice line, and refused to agree to a change in the building's design. Lemercier completed it with a dome. Lemercier was engaged by Louis XIII in initial planning for an expansion of the hunting lodge at Versailles, a project which was only realized by other architects, notably Louis Le Vau and Jules Hardouin-Mansart, under the guidance of Louis XIV. One of his last commissions was the design of the Church of Saint-Roch, where the cornerstone was laid by Louis XIV in 1653. With a length of m. it is one of the largest churches of Paris. the deep choir emphasizes the extent of the interior, scarcely interrupted by the discreet low dome over the crossing, which is hidden on the exterior beneath the transept roof. Lemercier completed the choir and crossing and the rest of the interior was carried out to his plan. Work was interrupted 1701–1740 save for a chapel inserted 1705–1710 designed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart. The present façade is an 18th-century composition by Robert de Cotte. In a long career, the scrupulous Lemercier amassed no fortune. Though in 1645 Lemercier was receiving, as first among the royal architects (premier architecte du Roi), a salary of 3000 livres, after his death— in the house he had built for himself, still standing at n° 46 rue de l’Arbre Sec (Gady)— it was necessary to sell the large library he had collected, in order to settle his debts.

- Jacques Lemercier war ein französischer Architekt, Ingenieur, Urbanist und Gartengestalter. Er war Angehöriger einer weitverzweigten Dynastie von Bauunternehmern und Architekten, Enkel von Pierre I. Lemercier, Sohn des erfolgreichen Maurermeisters und Bauunternehmers Nicolas Lemercier (* 1541, † 1637) und Bruder von Pierre II. Lemercier. Jacques Lemercier erhielt eine sorgfältige Ausbildung in Rom, seit spätestens 1607 und bis 1612. Nach seiner Rückkehr erwarb er sich die Gunst sowohl der Königinmutter und Regentin Maria von Medici als auch des Kardinals von Richelieu und trat 1613 in die Dienste von Ludwig XIII. , der ihn 1639 zum ersten Hofarchitekten ernannte. Lemercier baute zahlreiche Schlösser, Stadtpaläste, Kirchen, Klöster und Hochaltäre in Paris und in der Provinz, sowie, im Auftrag des Kardinals, die Stadt Richelieu. 1626 folgt er auf Salomon de Brosse als Architekt für den Bau des Palais du Luxembourg und 1646 auf François Mansart für die Vollendung der neuen Kirche des Val-de-Grâce-Klosters.
- Jacques Lemercier byl francouzským architektem. Jacques Lemercier patřil do rodiny architektů a mistrů zedníků dobře známých v Ile-de-France. Jeho děd, Pierre Le Mercier, a jeho otec, Nicolas Le Mercier, řídili velké stavby v Pontoise. Po dlouhém školení v Římě, Jacques Lemercier, se pomocí Marie Medici a kardinála Richelieu, stal „královským architektem a inženýrem“. Byl také dobrý urbanista, dekoratér a designer zahrad.
- Jacques Lemercier (nacido en Pontoise en 1585 y fallecido el 13 de enero de 1654) fue un arquitecto francés, entre los principales exponentes del llamado clasicismo barroco. Estudió en Roma, donde residió a partir de 1607. Sucesivamente fue arquitecto real y en 1624 Luis XIII le encargó ampliar el palacio del Louvre, sin separarse de la obra comenzada por Pierre Lescot en el siglo XVI; el elemento más interesante de la obra de Lemercier es el así llamado Pavillon de l'horloge, cuya construcción fue realizada tras derribar parte de la estructura original fechada en tiempos de Carlos V el Sabio. El Cardenal Richelieu le encargó una serie de proyectos de gran importancia: el Palacio real, iniciado en 1624, la Sorbona y hasta la ciudad ideal de Richelieu, caracterizada por una serie de ejes de calles regulares con casas de estilo uniforme. En la misma ciudad levantó un vasto palacio, del cual solo quedan restos. Entre sus mejores obras está la Capilla de la Sorbona, iniciada en 1635 donde a los elementos propios del barroco aúna otros de la tradición clásica. Terminó luego la Iglesia de Val-de-Grâce, iniciada por François Mansart, con la construcción de una cúpula.

Nella stessa città innalzò un vasto palazzo, del quale oggi sono visibili solo alcuni resti. Tra le sue opere migliori è doveroso ricordare la cappella della Sorbona, iniziata nel 1635 e nella quale confluiscono elementi della tradizione classica; terminò poi la chiesa di Val-de-Grâce, iniziata da François Mansart, con la costruzione di una vasta cupola.

Жак Лемерсье принадлежал к семье архитекторов и мастеров каменной кладки, уже прославившейся в Иль-де-Франс. Его дед Пьер Ле Мерсье и отец Николай Ле Мерсье руководили большими стройками в Понтуаз (Сен-Маклу, Нотр-Дам). После длительного обучения в Риме (в годы правления Генриха IV) Жак Лемерсье, пользуясь протекцией Марии Медичи и кардинала Ришельё, становится Первым королевским архитектором Людовика XIII. Помимо основной работы архитектором, проявил себя также как градостроитель, декоратор и садовый архитектор.
