pupil he is believed to have been
.
From 1677 onward he had apartments, near to those of See also:Andre See also:Charles See also:Boulle (q.v.), for whom he made many designs, in the Louvre, where he died
.
After the See also:death of Le Brun he was commissioned to compose and supervise the whole of the exterior decoration of the See also:- KING

Without possessing See also:great originality he was inventive and industrious, and knew so well how to assimilate the See also:work of those who had preceded him (especially Raffaelle's arabesques) and to adapt it to the See also:taste of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time that his designs became the rage
.
He furnished designs for the decorations and costumes used in the See also:opera performances, for See also:court festivals, and for public solemnities such as funeral processions, and inspired the ornamentations of rooms and of See also:furniture to such an extent that a See also:French writer says that nothing was done during his later years which he had not designed, or at least which was not in his manner
.
He was, in fact, the See also:oracle of taste and the supreme pontiff whose fiat was See also:law in all matters of decora-tion
.
His numerous designs were for the most See also:part engraved under his own superintendence, and a collection of them was published in Paris in 1711 by his son-in-law, See also:Thuret, clockmaker to the king

There are three books, fEuvre de J

His son JEAN BERAIN, " the Younger " (1678-1726), was born in Paris, where he also died
.
He was his See also:father's pupil, and exercised the same See also:official functions after his death
.
Thus he planned the funeral ceremonies at St See also:Denis on the death of the dauphin, and afterwards made the designs for the See also:obsequies of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)

Louis XIV
.
He is perhaps best known as an engraver
.
He engraved eleven plates of the collection Ornements de peinture et de See also:sculpture qui sont clans la galerie d'Apollon au chasteau du Louvre, et clans le See also:grand appartement du See also:roy au palais des Tuileries (Paris, 1710), which have been wrongly attributed to his father, the Mausolei du duc de Bourgogne, and that of See also:Marie-See also:Louise Gabrielle de See also:Savoie, reine d'Espagne (1714), &c
.
His work is exceedingly difficult to distinguish from his father's, the similarity of See also:style being remarkable
