Perrault, Claude (1613-1688)

French architect, born in Paris. He was a physician by profession, but became the architect of the Louvre. His east front colonnade (1665) ranks among the finest buildings of the 17th century. He also designed the Observatory at Paris around 1667, and translated Vitruvius's De Architectura (1673), a ten-volume interpretation of Roman architecture.
