MAN'SART (Francis), an eminent French architect, 
born at Paris in *598, was the fon of,the king's carpenter 
It was chiefly through the force of his own genius that 
he rofe to the firft rank in his profeflion. Tafte and judg¬ 
ment, united with a fertile imagination and grand ideas, 
enabled him to equal the greateft matters in his plans; his 
only fault was an inftability which frequently led him, in 
aiming at perfection, to alter his defigns during their exe 
cution, and demolifh what was done, in order to begin 
afrefh. This character loft him the finifhing of the fine 
abbey of Val-de-Grace, founded by Anne of Auftria, 
which he had commenced in 1645; but, when raifed 
to the firft ftory, the queen was perfuaded to put it 
into other hands. He was employed by the prefident 
de Longueil to build his great chateau of M at fans, near 
St. Germain; and, according to his ufual mode, when a 
part of it was ereCled, he pulled it down again without 
acquainting the matter. He finiftied it, however, at length, 
in a very noble ftyle; and it is reckoned one of the fineft 
architectural monuments of that age. Colbert applied to 
him for a plan of the principal front of the Louvre, and 
Manfart produced feveral fketches of great beauty ; but, 
when told that he muft fix upon one to be invariably fol¬ 
lowed, if approved, he declined fubjeCting himfelf to fach 
a condition. After adorning Paris and its environs, as 
well as feveral of the provinces, with fine edifices, of which, 
the laft, and that which he himfelf feems to have moftap- 
roved, was the portal of the Minims in the Place Royale, 
e died in 1&66, at the age of fixty-nine. A particular 
kind of roof, called a manfarde, was of his invention.
