Description:

In 1607 Henry IV also began the first monumental plague hospital in Europe, the Hôpital St Louis, designed by Claude Vellefaux (1559-1619). Buildings constructed under Henry IV were typically of brick and stone and drew on the stylistic vocabulary of French architecture of the last third of the 16th century. While the architectural forms of his reign were conservative, his programme was innovative in its social goals and methods of development. Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordar…
