Jean Bullant (
1515 —
1578) was a
French architect and
sculptor who built the tombs of
Anne de Montmorency, Grand Connétable of France,
Henri II, and
Catherine de' Medici, as well as the
Tuileries, the
Louvre, and the
Château d'Écouen. Bullant was a
Huguenot.
On his return from study in Rome, Bullant worked for Montmorency, for whom he transformed the
Château d'Écouen about 1550, built the "petit château" at Chantilly, and modernised the Château de Fère-en-Tardenois, with its splendid bridge.
He took up the on-going works at the
Tuileries upon the death of
Philibert Delorme (1570), and was appointed royal arcitect, (1571-78).. At
Chenonceaux he built the gallery that spans the river on arches (1576-1577).
For
Catherine de Médicis he built the Hôtel de Soissons, (1572-84; demolished in 1748), of which only the
Medici column remains.
His treatise on architecture,
La Règle générale d'architecture sur les cinq manières de colonnes, was published at Paris, 1564 and 1568. Bullant was also the author of treatises on geometry and horology.
