Pierre Mignard [1]
a French architect, and nephew of the preceding, was born at Avignon in 1640. After a series of extensive journeys throughout France and Italy, during which he devoted himself to the study of architecture, he settled in Paris. He built the Abbey de Montmajour, near Aries, which gained him great reputation; and he was intrusted with many important works. Among these may be mentioned the facade of the church of St. Nicholas and the Porte St. Martin.

He was one of the six architects who, in 1671, founded the French Academy of Architecture, of which he was appointed professor. He died in 1725. See Spooner, Biog. Hist. of the Fine Arts (N.Y. 1865, 2 volumes, 8vo), 2:564.
