The Hôtel de Ville in Paris
by CELLIER, Jacques, Pen and ink drawing
An album of pen-and-ink drawings, made by Jacques Cellier in the 1580s, accurately records the appearance of some Parisian buildings during the Renaissance. This drawing shows the H�tel de Ville, designed by Domenico da Cortona, in incomplete form: aside from the Pavillon Saint-Jean to the right, the upper portions remain unbuilt.
