  • Pierre Lescot was a French architect active during the French Renaissance, "the man who was first responsible for the implantation of pure and correct classical architecture in France. " Francois I took him into his service, and appointed him architect in charge of the building projects at the Palais du Louvre, which transformed the old château into the palace that we know. A project put forward by the Italian architect and theorist Sebastiano Serlio was set aside in favor of Lescot's, in which three sides of a square court were to be enclosed by splendid apartments, while on the east, facing the city as it then was, the fourth side was probably destined to be lightly closed with an arcade. Festive corner pavilions of commanding height and adorned by pillars and statues were to replace the medieval towers. Elsewhere in the Louvre, little was actually achieved beyond razing some of the old feudal structure. Though Lescot was confirmed in his position after the king's death by his heir Henri II, and though he worked at the Louvre project until his death, only the west side and part of the south side were completed, comprising the present southwest wing of the Cour Carré, the Aile Lescot, or "Lescot Wing". . The building executed in 1546–51 set the mold of French classicism: it is of two stories with an attic richly embellished with Jean Goujon's panels of bas-reliefs; it is crowned by a sloping roof, a traditional feature of French building and practical in a rainy climate. The deeply recessed arch-headed windows of the ground story give the impression of an arcade, while the projecting pavilions bear small round oeil de boeuf windows above them. In the second storey slender fluted pilasters separate the windows, which alternate delicate triangular and arched pediments. Goujon's noble sculpture and architectural ornaments are cleverly subordinated to the construction, but the surviving groundfloor Salle des Caryatides (1546–49) is named for Goujon's four caryatid figures that support the musicians' gallery. Of Lescot's constructions at the Louvre there also remain the Salle des Gardes and the Henri II staircase. His first achievements (1540–45) were the rood-screen in Saint-Germain l'Auxerrois, of which only some sculptures by Goujon have been saved and in Paris the Hôtel de Ligneris (1548–50, now the Musée Carnavalet, which was thoroughly altered by François Mansart). Here and especially in the design of the Fountain of Nymphs (1547–49, illustration, left), his moderate tectonic role is outshone by Goujon's sculpture. He was also responsible for the Château de Vallery. Lescot's career is so scantily documented it is not known whether he ever visited Italy, or whether his knowledge of Italian practice was derived through the architecture and engravings that issued from the School of Fontainebleau. All of Lescot's known works have sculptural decoration by Trebatti and by Jean Goujon, who collaborated with him at the Louvre. Unlike the other architects of the French Flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance, Pierre Lescot was not from a line of masons, with practical experience, but the son of a seigneur. His father, also Pierre Lescot, was sieur of Lissy-en-Brie and Clagny, not far from Versailles, seigneuries that his son Pierre inherited. Although, according to a eulogistic poem by Ronsard, Pierre Lescot busied himself zealously in early youth making drawings and paintings, and, after his twentieth year, with mathematics and architecture, his wealth and the duties of his offices appear subsequently to have interfered with his artistic activity. No other documented works are identified, though a dismissive reference in the memoires of the duc de Nevers, published long afterwards, instances "Magny" (i.e. Clagny) as "a painter who used to make inventions of masquerades and tourneys", as all court architects were expected to produce in the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. At his death, Lescot was succeeded at the Louvre by Jean Baptiste Androuet du Cerceau.

  • Pierre Lescot, Seigneur de Clagny, Domherr der Notre-Dame de Paris, war ein französischer Architekt und Bildhauer. Er war, in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Jean Goujon, vor allem in Paris tätig. Sein erstes bekanntes Werk war der in den Jahren 1541 bis 1544 entstandene Lettner der Pfarrkirche Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois, von dem lediglich einige Fragmente im Louvre erhalten sind. Nach 1545 arbeitete Pierre Lescot an dem Hôtel Carnavalet, dem Stadtpalast von Jacques de Ligneris, Gerichtspräsident am Pariser Parlament. Im Jahre 1546 wurde er von König Franz I. mit dem Neubau des Louvres beauftragt. So entstand der berühmte, nach Lescot benannte Südwestflügel der Cour Carrée, d. h. des quadratischen Innenhofes des Louvre, der nach einer Änderung der ursprünglichen Pläne erst 1555 unter Heinrich II. vollendet wurde und als perfekter Ausdruck der französischen Renaissance-Architektur angesehen wird. Zugeschrieben werden Pierre Lescot der Brunnen Fontaine des Innocents im Pariser Quartier des Halles und das Schloss von Vallery. Zu seinen Freunden zählte Pierre de Ronsard.

  • Le notizie sulla sua formazione sono scarse, ma indubbiamente fu influenzato dal trattatto di Sebastiano Serlio e dalla Scuola di Fontainebleau. La sua unica importante realizzazione giunta fino ai giorni nostri è rappresentata dal cortile quadrato del Louvre, un'opera innalzata tra il 1546 ed il 1551 e che ebbe notevole influenza per l'affermazione del classicismo in Francia tra i secoli XVI e XVII. I lavori iniziarono sotto Francesco I e continuarono anche durante il regno di Enrico II; Lescot conferì all'edificio un carattere rinascimentale, con dettagli manieristi di notevole raffinatezza derivati dalla sua collaborazione con lo scultore Jean Goujon. Alcune tracce dell'opera di Lescot si riscontrano nell'Hôtel Carnavalet, mentre ricostruita è la sua Fontana degli Innocenti, sempre a Parigi.

В 1546 году по приказу короля Франциска I, Леско начал перестраивать Лувр (в то время — крепость) и теперь его именем называется западное крыло «квадратного двора». Работа над зданием была закончена 9 лет спустя, в 1555 году, при короле Генрихе II и стала ярким примером архитектуры эпохи Ренессанса во Франции. Также к работам Пьера Леско относятся «Фонтан невинных» и Замок Валери. Леско часто работал вместе со скульптором Жаном Гужоном. Был близко знаком с писателем Пьером де Ронсаром.
