Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine by Louis-Léopold Boilly

Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, Paris, 1810

Pierre François Léonard Fontaine (September 20, 1762, Pontoise, near Paris – October 10, 1853, Paris) was a neoclassical French architect, interior decorator and designer, who worked in such close partnership with Charles Percier, originally his friend from student days, from 1794 onwards, that it is fruitless to disentangle artistic responsibilities in their work. Together, Percier and Fontaine were inventors and major proponents of the rich and grand, consciously archaeological versions of neoclassicism we recognize as Directoire style and Empire style: see Charles Percier.
