Summary:

L'architecte Louis Le Vau (1612-1670) est une figure difficilement contournable du siècle de Louis XIV, mais aucun ouvrage n'a été menée à bien à son sujet et des pans entiers de son activité demeurent encore obscurs. Fils de maçon, Le Vau débute sa carrière sur l'île Saint-Louis à Paris et se fait rapidement connaître comme architecte par les riches particuliers qui font bâtir de nouveaux hôtels. 0A travers l'étude de ses débuts professionnels, de son activité sur l'île Saint-Louis et des progrès de sa carrière à la ville et à la cour, le propos permet d'éclairer non seulement le portrait du jeune architecte, mais aussi d'offrir un tableau des personnalités et des ambitions artistiques, sociales et politiques qui animent l'architecture française au milieu du XVIIe siècle. L'ouvrage compte de nombreuses reproductions (manuscrits, estampes, tableaux), des photographies (façades, décors intérieurs) et des dessins de l'auteur qui restituent des édifices aujourd'hui disparus qui ont marqué l'architecture française.
