Jacques Lemercier or Le Mercier is a "French architect who, along with François Mansart and Louis Le Vau, shaped French architecture by introducing classical elements... He was commissioned by Louis XIII to carry out the enlargement of the old Louvre courtyard (now the Cour Carrée), planned by Pierre Lescot, and to this purpose he built the Pavillon de l'Horloge and the adjoining wings to the north...Cardinal Richelieu soon became his patron, and Lemercier built for him the Palais-Cardinal, subsequently renamed the Palais Royal, in Paris (1629). The theatre of the Palais was one of the first structures in France built exclusively for theatrical use. It was also for Richelieu that Lemercier built the Church of the Sorbonne (begun 1626), perhaps the earliest French building to have a dome set on a high drum." Encyclopaedia Brittanica online.
